Bile Acid Function: Dehydrocholic acid is one of the primary bile acids produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile acids, including dehydrocholic acid, play essential roles in emulsifying dietary fats, facilitating lipid digestion, and promoting the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients in the small intestine.
Gallstone Dissolution: Dehydrocholic acid has been investigated for its potential therapeutic use in the dissolution of gallstones, particularly cholesterol gallstones. By increasing the solubility of cholesterol in bile, dehydrocholic acid may help dissolve cholesterol gallstones and prevent their recurrence. However, the use of dehydrocholic acid for this purpose has largely been supplanted by other treatments, such as oral bile acid therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or surgical interventions.
Sodium Deoxycholate Derivative: While dehydrocholic acid itself is not widely used as a therapeutic agent, its sodium salt, sodium deoxycholate, has been employed for various medical and cosmetic purposes. Sodium deoxycholate is known for its detergent and solubilizing properties and has been utilized in the treatment of subcutaneous fat deposits through injection lipolysis procedures.
Injection Lipolysis: Sodium deoxycholate injections have been used off-label for nonsurgical fat reduction and body contouring, particularly in the treatment of localized adiposity, such as submental fat (double chin) and small pockets of fat on the body. The injections are typically administered directly into the targeted fat deposits, where sodium deoxycholate disrupts fat cell membranes, leading to cellular breakdown and eventual elimination of fat.
Adverse Effects: While injection lipolysis with sodium deoxycholate may offer cosmetic benefits, it is associated with potential adverse effects, including pain, swelling, bruising, redness, and induration at the injection site. In some cases, more serious complications, such as skin necrosis, nerve injury, and contour irregularities, may occur. Therefore, the procedure should be performed by trained healthcare professionals in appropriate clinical settings, and patients should be informed of the potential risks and benefits.
Regulatory Status: The use of sodium deoxycholate injections for cosmetic purposes is subject to regulatory oversight in many countries. Providers offering injection lipolysis procedures should adhere to applicable regulations and guidelines to ensure patient safety and quality of care.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
