Comparison of fibroblast growth factor 19 concentrations between dogs with and without gallbladder mucoceles

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 2518-2522, September/October 2024.
Abstract Background Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is an enterohepatic hormone the synthesis of which is stimulated by bile acid activation of the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in ileal enterocytes. Increased production of FGF19 downregulates hepatocyte bile acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis, while concurrently upregulating hepatocyte ...
