Effect of different bile acids on the intestine through enterohepatic circulation based on FXR

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2021
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]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research
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]

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
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

open access: yesAlʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2023
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

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2020
Bile acid biotransformation is a collaborative effort by the host and the gut microbiome. Host hepatocytes synthesize primary bile acids from cholesterol.

Atorvastatin Induces FXR and CYP7A1 Activation as a Result of the Sequential Action of PPARγ/PGC-1α/HNF-4α in Hep3B Cells

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021
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

Alterations in the gut microbiota and serum metabolomics of spontaneous cholestasis caused by loss of FXR signal in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Background: Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a key metabolic target of bile acids (BAs) and is also a target for drugs against several liver diseases. However, the contribution of FXR in the pathogenesis of cholestasis is still not fully understood.

Farnesoid X Receptor Activation in Brain Alters Brown Adipose Tissue Function via the Sympathetic System

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
The nuclear bile acid (BA) receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a major regulator of metabolic/energy homeostasis in peripheral organs. Indeed, enterohepatic-expressed FXR controls metabolic processes (BA, glucose and lipid metabolism, fat mass, body ...

Adipocyte-specific FXR-deficiency protects adipose tissue from oxidative stress and insulin resistance and improves glucose homeostasis

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2023
Objective: Obesity is associated with metabolic dysfunction of white adipose tissue (WAT). Activated adipocytes secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines resulting in the recruitment of pro-inflammatory macrophages, which contribute to WAT insulin resistance ...
