Taurodeoxycholic acid and its isomers have molecular masses similar to perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and therefore may interfere with interpretation of mass spectrometry data, leading to a false indication of the presence of PFOS in a biological sample.[1]
Serum concentration of taurodeoxycholic acid, a downstream microbial metabolite of cholic acid, is associated with a strong increased risk of colorectal cancer among women.[2]
Also, the determination of taurodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate in blood samples may potentially be useful as a risk factor and screening biomarker for lung cancer prevention.[3]
