    Question

    Which one of the following is NOT called secondary bile acid?

    A.

    Deoxycholic acid

    B.

    Lithocholic acid

    C.

    Chenodeoxycholic acid

    D.

    Ursodeoxycholic acid

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c).

    Chenodeoxycholic acid. Chenodeoxycholic acid is a primary bile acid, not a secondary one. It is synthesized from cholesterol in the liver and is then conjugated with glycine or taurine. On the other hand, deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid, and ursodeoxycholic acid are secondary bile acids that are formed in the colon through microbial modifications of primary bile acids.

    Incorrect options-

    Deoxycholic acid option (a) ,Lithocholic acid option (b) , Ursodeoxycholic acidoption (d)all are secondary bile acid, so option (a), (b) and (d) are incorrect as an answer.
