Glycocholic acid
Glycocholic acid is an acyl glycine and a bile acid-glycine conjugate. It is a secondary bile acid produced by the action of enzymes existing in the microbial flora of the colonic environment. Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Clostridium and Lactobacillus are involved in bile acid metabolism and produce glycocholic acid (PMID: 6265737; 10629797). In hepatocytes, both primary and secondary bile acids undergo amino acid conjugation at the C-24 carboxylic acid on the side chain, and almost all bile acids in the bile duct therefore exist in a glycine conjugated form (PMID: 16949895). More specifically, glycocholic acid or cholylglycine, is a crystalline bile acid involved in the emulsification of fats. It occurs as a sodium salt in the bile of mammals. Its anion is called glycocholate. As the glycine conjugate of cholic acid, this compound acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption and is itself absorbed (PubChem). Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in bile of mammals. The distinction between different bile acids is minute, depends only on presence or absence of hydroxyl groups on positions 3, 7, and 12. Bile acids are physiological detergents that facilitate excretion, absorption, and transport of fats and sterols in the intestine and liver. Bile acids are also steroidal amphipathic molecules derived from the catabolism of cholesterol. They modulate bile flow and lipid secretion, are essential for the absorption of dietary fats and vitamins, and have been implicated in the regulation of all the key enzymes involved in cholesterol homeostasis. Bile acids recirculate through the liver, bile ducts, small intestine and portal vein to form an enterohepatic circuit. They exist as anions at physiological pH and, consequently, require a carrier for transport across the membranes of the enterohepatic tissues. The unique detergent properties of bile acids are essential for the digestion and intestinal absorption of hydrophobic nutrients. Bile acids have potent toxic properties (e.g., membrane disruption) and there are a plethora of mechanisms to limit their accumulation in blood and tissues (PMID: 11316487, 16037564, 12576301, 11907135). Glycocholic acid is found to be associated with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, which is an inborn error of metabolism. Glycocholic acid is a bile acid glycine conjugate having cholic acid as the bile acid component. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is functionally related to a cholic acid and a glycochenodeoxycholic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a glycocholate. Glycocholic acid is a natural product found in Caenorhabditis elegans and Homo sapiens with data available. The glycine conjugate of CHOLIC ACID. It acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption and is itself absorbed. Glycocholic acid, or cholylglycine, is a crystalline bile acid involved in the emulsification of fats. It occurs as a sodium salt in the bile of mammals. It is a conjugate of cholic acid with glycine. Its anion is called glycocholate.

LysoPA(16:0/0:0)
LysoPA(16:0/0:0) is a lysophosphatidic acid. It is a glycerophospholipid in which a phosphate moiety occupies a glycerol substitution site. Lysophosphatidic acids can have different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached at the C-1 (sn-1) or C-2 (sn-2) position. Fatty acids containing 16 and 18 carbons are the most common. Lysophosphatidic acid is the simplest possible glycerophospholipid. It is the biosynthetic precursor of phosphatidic acid. Although it is present at very low levels only in animal tissues, it is extremely important biologically, influencing many biochemical processes. In particular, lysophosphatidic acid is an intercellular lipid mediator with growth factor-like activities, and is rapidly produced and released from activated platelets to influence target cells. 1-Palmitoyl lysophosphatidic acid is the major component of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in plasma, and is in a reduced ratio in individuals with gynecological cancers (PMID 11585410). LPA is a pluripotent lipid mediator controlling growth, motility, and differentiation, that has a strong influence on the chemotaxis and ultrastructure of human neutrophils (PMID 7416233). In serum and plasma, LPA is mainly converted from lysophospholipids, whereas in platelets and some cancer cells it is converted from phosphatidic acid. In each pathway, at least two phospholipase activities are required: phospholipase A1 (PLA1)/PLA2 plus lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activities are involved in the first pathway and phospholipase D (PLD) plus PLA1/PLA2 activities are involved in the second pathway. (PMID 15271293). Lysopa(16:0/0:0), also known as 1-palmitoyl lysophosphatidic acid or 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate, is a member of the class of compounds known as 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphates. 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphates are lysophosphatidic acids where the glycerol is esterified with a fatty acid at O-1 position. Thus, lysopa(16:0/0:0) is considered to be a glycerophosphate lipid molecule. Lysopa(16:0/0:0) is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Lysopa(16:0/0:0) can be found in a number of food items such as alfalfa, soy bean, banana, and barley, which makes lysopa(16:0/0:0) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Lysopa(16:0/0:0) can be found primarily throughout all human tissues. Lysopa(16:0/0:0) exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, lysopa(16:0/0:0) is involved in several metabolic pathways, some of which include cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:0/18:1(11Z)/18:0/18:1(9Z)), cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:0/16:1(9Z)/16:1(9Z)/16:0), cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:0/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:0/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)), and cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:0/18:1(11Z)/18:0/18:1(11Z)). Lysopa(16:0/0:0) is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include de novo triacylglycerol biosynthesis TG(16:0/24:0/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)), de novo triacylglycerol biosynthesis TG(16:0/22:2(13Z,16Z)/22:0), de novo triacylglycerol biosynthesis TG(16:0/15:0/18:3(9Z,12Z,15Z)), and de novo triacylglycerol biosynthesis TG(16:0/15:0/24:0).
