Descriptor ácido desoxicólico
Entry term(s) Kybella
desoxicolato
Scope note: Ácido biliar que se forma, por acción bacteriana, a partir del colato. Suele conjugarse con glicina o taurina. El ácido desoxicólico actúa como detergente para solubilizar grasas para la absorción intestinal. Él mismo es reabsorbido. Se emplea como colerético y detergente.
