Re: A novel hypothesis on PSC

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike;

I havn't heard anything from Dr. Trauner for a while. The last I

heard about his studies on nor-ursodeoxycholic acid were from

October, 2006 at the Falk Sympsoium; see p. 77 - 78 of this abstract

book:

> Dave, Speaking of Dr Trauner, Have you heard any update on Nor-

UDCA? I looked around on his sites and did some searches, but didn't

really come up with anything besudes the study that was in the

newsletter. The only thing I found was a study I think on the

metabolizing of Nor-UDCA by I think A Hofmann in human subjects.

Have you been in contact with Dr Trauner? It might be better for one

person to contact him like yourself as opposed to a bunch of people.
