glycocholate

Precipitate formation takes place in a serum by the addition of a solution of sodium glycocholate.

Its anion is called glycocholate.

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are choloyl-CoA and glycine, whereas its two products are CoA and glycocholate.

Using a marker perfusion technique, however, the uptake of taurocholate and glycocholate was measured in three infants with cystic fibrosis and was noted to be similar to control subjects.

To evaluate intestinal bacteria, clinical application of breath tests with 1 4 C labelled glycocholate,1 4 C-D-xylose, glucose-H 2, or lactulose H 2 has been proposed.

Like certain other resins, scammony is inert until it has passed from the stomach into the duodenum, where it meets the bile, a chemical reaction occurring between it and the taurocholate and glycocholate of sodium, whereby it is converted into a powerful purgative.
