Mechanism of intestinal formation of deoxycholic acid from cholic acid in humans: evidence for a 3-oxo-delta 4-steroid intermediate.
12 alpha-Hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid coupled to an adenosine nucleotide has been shown to be a metabolite of cholic acid in the intestinal anaerobic bacteria, Eubacterium species VPI 12708 (1987. J. Biol. Chem. 262: 4701-4707) and it has been suggested that this may be an intermediate in the conv...
