    Product Description

    Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate is a metabolite of the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid (Item No. 20253).1 It is water soluble and the primary form of lithocholic acid in the bile duct. Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate forms a complex with calcium in vitro.2 Biliary secretion of lithocholic acid 3-sulfate is increased in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104).3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
