Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA; also known as chenodesoxycholic acid, chenocholic acid and 3α,7α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid) is a bile acid. Salts of this carboxylic acid are called chenodeoxycholates. Chenodeoxycholic acid is one of the main bile acids.[1][2][3] It was first isolated from the bile of the domestic goose, which gives it the "cheno" portion of its name (Greek: χν = goose).[4] Contents ...
