Bile acid receptors and gastrointestinal functions
Bile acids modulate several gastrointestinal (GI) functions including electrolyte secretion and absorption, gastric emptying, and small intestinal and colonic motility.

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.

Characterization of porcine pregnane X receptor, farnesoid X receptor and their splice variants
The pregnane X receptor (PXR; NR1I2) and the farnesoid X receptor (FXR; NR1H4) regulate the expression of many major metabolic enzymes. With the pig being used as a model for humans in metabolic and toxicological studies and also an important food animal, we characterized the transactivation profile of the porcine orthologs of these receptors, pgPXR ...

Phytochemicals in MASLD: A Focused Review of Gut Microbiome‐Linked Mechanisms
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major global health burden, yet effective pharmacological options remain limited. Recent advances highlight the gut microbiome as a key modulator of liver metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, making it a promising therapeutic target.

Mutations in the nuclear bile acid receptor FXR cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis
Neonatal cholestasis is a result of elevated bile acid levels, and is associated with mutations in genes regulating bile acid homeostasis. Here the authors identify mutations in the bile acid sensing farnesoid X receptor in four individuals with neonatal

Regulation of N-Myc downstream regulated gene 2 by bile acids [PDF]
Here we report that bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and synthetic farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist GW4064 robustly induced tumor suppressor N-Myc downstream regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) expression in human hepatoma cells and primary hepatocytes ...

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