Delayed diagnosis of 3β‐HSD7 deficiency in adolescence: Two case reports and review of the literature

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital bile acid synthesis defects (BASD), the most common of which is 3β‐hydroxy‐Δ5‐C27‐steroid dehydrogenase oxidoreductase (3β‐HSD7) deficiency, are a rare cause of fat‐soluble vitamin malabsorption. We describe a 14‐year‐old girl who presented at 14 months with a left distal femur fracture and failure to thrive.

Ruminal methane inhibition potential of various pure compounds in comparison with garlic oil as determined with a rumen simulation technique (Rusitec) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ruminants represent an important source of methane (CH4) emissions; therefore, CH4 mitigation by diet supplementation is a major goal in the current ruminant research. The objective of the present study was to use a rumen simulation technique to evaluate

Downregulation of host tryptophan-aspartate containing coat (TACO) gene restricts the entry and survival of Leishmania donovani in human macrophage model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Leishmania are obligate intracellular protozoan parasites of mammalian hosts. Promastigotes of Leishmania are internalized by macrophages and transformed into amastigotes in phagosomes, and replicate in phagolysosomes.

Cholecystectomy Is Linked With Lower Respiratory Exchange Ratio and Higher Lipid Oxidation and Sleep Energy Expenditure

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cholecystectomy (GBX) may alter energy metabolism, but human evidence is limited. We examined whether GBX alters energy expenditure (EE), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and substrate oxidation. Methods A total of 384 healthy Southwestern Indigenous American adults (222 males, age 28 ± 6 years) were studied, including individuals ...

Synthesis of new bile salt analogues, sodium 3 alpha, 7 alpha-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholane-24-sulfonate and sodium 3 alpha, 7 beta-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholane-24-sulfonate.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
This report describes the chemical synthesis of two new bile salt analogues, namely sodium 3 alpha,7 alpha-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholane-24-sulfonate and sodium 3 alpha,7 beta-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholane-24-sulfonate from chenodeoxycholic acid and ...

Farnesoid X receptor prevents hyperuricemia via activating ATP‐binding cassette subfamily G member 2

open access: yesRheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation reduces serum uric acid levels by upregulating the intestinal urate transporter ATP‐binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2). These findings uncover a novel metabolic pathway for urate excretion and suggest that FXR agonists (e.g., obeticholic acid), represent a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: defective liver mitochondrial hydroxylation of chenodeoxycholic acid precursors.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1981
Oxidation of the side chain of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha-diol, 7 alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, and 5-cholestene-3 beta, 7 alpha-diol has been studied in subcellular fractions of liver from a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX ...

Bile acid metabolism and sleep: Mechanistic interplay and clinical implications of the gut–liver–brain axis

open access: yesSleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The bidirectional interplay between sleep and metabolic homeostasis is fundamental to physiological health. While the roles of glucose and lipid metabolism in sleep regulation have been extensively characterized, bile acids (BAs), which are traditionally viewed as digestive surfactants, are emerging as critical metabolic messengers with ...

The role of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Due to the epidemic of obesity across the world, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the most prevalent chronic liver disorders in children and adolescents.
