Short Description
Determines total bile acids using 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Brand
LipidFlux
Development Stage
Research-Grade Lipid Metabolism Assay Development
Description
The LipidFlux™ Bile Acid Assay Kit determines total bile acid levels, serving as a sensitive marker for cholestasis and hepatotoxicity in drug safety evaluations. This homogeneous assay supports the investigation of bile acid transporter function and liver metabolism in pre-clinical toxicology. It allows for the early detection of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) related to bile secretion defects.

Background
Bile acids are steroid acids produced in the liver from cholesterol that facilitate fat digestion. Altered serum levels indicate liver dysfunction cholestasis or defects in enterohepatic circulation.
