Role of bile acids in inflammatory liver diseases [PDF]

, 2021
Bile acids and their signaling pathways are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic targets for cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases. This review summarizes new insights in bile acid physiology, focusing on regulatory roles of bile acids in ...

Review: microbial transformations of human bile acids

Microbiome, 2021
Bile acids play key roles in gut metabolism, cell signaling, and microbiome composition. While the liver is responsible for the production of primary bile acids, microbes in the gut modify these compounds into myriad forms that greatly increase their ...

Physiological concentrations of bile acids down-regulate agonist induced secretion in colonic epithelial cells [PDF]

, 2009
In patients with bile acid malabsorption, high concentrations of bile acids enter the colon and stimulate Cl− and fluid secretion, thereby causing diarrhoea. However, deoxycholic acid (DCA), the predominant colonic bile acid, is normally present at lower

Bile acids and their receptors: modulators and therapeutic targets in liver inflammation [PDF]

, 2022
Bile acids participate in the intestinal emulsion, digestion, and absorption of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins. When present in high concentrations, as in cholestatic liver diseases, bile acids can damage cells and cause inflammation.

Profiling of Urinary Glucuronidated Bile Acids across Age Groups

Metabolites, 2022
We investigated the age-dependent changes in urinary excretion of glucuronidated bile acids at the C-3 position. Bile acid 3-glucuronides accounted for 0.5% of urinary bile acids in neonates, and the proportion of bile acid 3-glucuronides plateaued at 1 ...

Gut Microbiota-derived Bile Acids Promote Gamma-secretase Activity Through Interactions with Nicastrin Subunits [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has emerged as a progressively pervasive neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Bile acids, synthesized in the liver and modified by the gut microbiota, play pivotal roles in diverse physiological processes, and their dysregulation in individuals with AD has been well-documented.

A Systemic Receptor Network Triggered by Human cytomegalovirus Entry [PDF]

Advances in Virology Volume 2011 (2011), Article ID 262080, 11 pages, 2010
Virus entry is a multistep process that triggers a variety of cellular pathways interconnecting into a complex network, yet the molecular complexity of this network remains largely unsolved. Here, by employing systems biology approach, we reveal a systemic virus-entry network initiated by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a widespread opportunistic ...

Dose-related liver injury of Geniposide associated with the alteration in bile acid synthesis and transportation. [PDF]

, 2017
Fructus Gardenia (FG), containing the major active constituent Geniposide, is widely used in China for medicinal purposes. Currently, clinical reports of FG toxicity have not been published, however, animal studies have shown FG or Geniposide can cause ...

Bile acids during pregnancy: Trimester variations and associations with glucose homeostasis

Health Science Reports, 2021
Background and aims Bile acids are known to contribute to hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism regulation. Although glucose homeostasis sustains well‐characterized modifications during uncomplicated pregnancies, changes in bile acids concentrations and ...

Bile Acids: Major Regulator of the Gut Microbiome

Microorganisms, 2022
Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol and play an important role in regulating intestinal microflora. The different degrees of hydrophobicity and acidity of individual bile acids may affect their antimicrobial properties.
