Effect of different bile acids on the intestine through enterohepatic circulation based on FXR
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor for bile acids (BAs) that is widely expressed in the intestine, liver and kidney. FXR has important regulatory impacts on a wide variety of metabolic pathways (such as glucose, lipid, and sterol metabolism)

Mice with humanized FXR ligand-binding domain display distinct metabolic responses upon pharmacological FXR stimulation [PDF]
Farnesoid-X-receptor (FXR), a bile acid (BA)-activated nuclear receptor, is a therapeutic target for cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases. However, species differences in BA metabolism and FXR signaling hamper translation from mice to humans.

The Effects of PPAR Agonists on Atherosclerosis and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in ApoE−/−FXR−/− Mice [PDF]
Background Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a bile acid–activated nuclear receptor, is a potent regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism as well as of bile acid metabolism.

Bile acid dysmetabolism in inflammatory bowel diseases
Aim: To summarize the state-of-the-art data on the molecular mechanisms of bile acid (BA) synthesis and absorption, their impaired absorption and receptor-dependent signaling, as well as on the effects of the gut microbiota on BA metabolism in ...

Diversification of host bile acids by members of the gut microbiota
Bile acid biotransformation is a collaborative effort by the host and the gut microbiome. Host hepatocytes synthesize primary bile acids from cholesterol.

Backgrounds/Aims: PPARγ, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and CYP7A1 are associated with solubility of bile. This study was performed to understand a mechanism and interactions of statin-induced PPARγ, PGC-1α and HNF-4α related to the statin-induced activation
