Glycolithocholic acid is a glycine-conjugated form of the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid . It is increased in the liver of mice fed a diet supplemented with ursodeoxycholic acid . Glycolithocholic acid levels are decreased in the plasma following subcutaneous administration of PEG-obestatin(Cys¹⁰, Cys¹³), a modified peptide hormone, in lean or diet-induced obese mice. Serum glycolithocholic acid levels increase with age in children.

A metabolite in human hepatic bile.

A metabolite in human hepatic bile. A lithocholic acid analog that inhibit sialyltransferase.

ChEBI: The glycine conjugate of lithocholic acid.
