Taurohyocholic Acid is a taurine-conjugated bile acid derived from hyocholic acid, predominantly found in pig bile[1]. Taurohyocholic Acid plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis[2] and metabolic regulation[3]. It is also used in research of oncology[4] and end-stage renal disease (ESRD)[5] as a biomarker for predicting treatment efficacy.
Taurohyocholic Acid stimulate GLP-1 production and secretion in intestinal enteroendocrine STC-1 and NCI-H716 cells by promoting proglucagon transcription. In STC-1 and NCI-H716 cells, treatment with 25µM Taurohyocholic Acid for 1 hour significantly increased GLP-1 secretion, and a 24-hour incubation further promoted proglucagon transcription and GLP-1 production[6].

Taurohyocholic Acid是一种由猪胆酸衍生的结合牛磺酸的胆汁酸,主要存在于猪胆汁中[1]。Taurohyocholic Acid在维持血糖稳态[2]和代谢调节[3]中起关键作用。在肿瘤学[4]和终末期肾病(ESRD)[5] 研究中,Taurohyocholic Acid可以作为预测治疗效果的生物标志物。
Taurohyocholic Acid可以通过促进前胰高血糖素转录,刺激STC-1和NCI-H716细胞中GLP-1的生成和分泌。在STC-1和NCI-H716细胞中,用25µM的Taurohyocholic Acid处理1小时可以显著增加GLP-1分泌,24小时的孵育进一步促进了前胰高血糖素转录和GLP-1的生成[6]。
