Inasmuch as no glycocholic acid is present in Ingluvin, it would seem that saccharated pepsin would be far more efficacious in treating the abnormal conditions for which Ingluvin is recommended in the advertising circulars.
A careful examination was made for the presence of glycocholic acid, claimed to be the active principle of Ingluvin, but its presence could not be established.
According to the report made to the Council there is no glycocholic acid in this preparation, nor is it possible, from the anatomic arrangements of the fowl’s digestive apparatus, for it to get there.
The natural glycocholic acid in Ingluvin is the active principle and the most efficient agent in the treatment of all stomachic and enteric disorders.
Defn: A salt of glycocholic acid; as, sodium glycocholate.
Note: It was formerly supposed to be the essential principle of the bile, but is now known to be a mixture, principally of salts of glycocholic and taurocholic acids.
It was formerly supposed to be the essential principle of the bile, but is now known to be a mixture, principally of salts of glycocholic and taurocholic acids.
It will be remembered that in speaking of the bile-acids, I mentioned that while glycocholic acid is a crystalline, taurocholic is a non-crystalline substance.
To explain this I will mention a few examples; the saturated alum solution will cause glycocholic acid to curdle.
By chemical analysis we have seen that glycocholic acid is the principal constituent of ox-gall and in combination with taurocholic acid, glycin, choline and lactic acid is soluble in water.
As I have already mentioned the insolubility of glycocholic acid binds the color to the paper.
If these two acids be separated from each other in a chemical way we obtain glycocholic acid, an acid free of sulphur and the other taurocholic acid containing sulphur.
The atomic weight of gall and the insolubility of pure glycocholic acid in water are the most valuable properties of it for the marbling colors.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "glycocholic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
