Talk:Ursodoxicoltaurine

Ambiguous/weird phrasing

However, bears contain large amounts of TUDCA, ranging from 47% to 76% in the American and Asiatic bear, respectively. I seriously doubt 47% of a bear's body mass is TUDCA. --113.151.4.122 (talk) 10:09, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

It was intended to be "47% to 76% of the bile". I fixed the sentence and added a reference. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Rats were injected with TUDCA

Wikipedia now mentions numberous studies similar to this:

"Were injected with ursodoxicoltaurine".

TUDCA works if injected in rats.

Could this mean TUDCA probably also has at least some benefits for us humans, if taken by mouth?

If UDCA works for covid-19 treatment, does TUDCA work also?

TUDCA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursodoxicoltaurine

UDCA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursodeoxycholic_acid

I found several human studies claiming UDCA could prevent or treat covid-19 infections in humans.

At least this, and some studies published after this in year 2023:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05594-0

If UDCA works for this purpose, is it guaranteed that TUDCA works also?

TUDCA is sold as dietary supplement and UDCA is sold as prescription drug in many countries, so many people who are unable to buy UDCA might buy TUDCA.
