Lithocholic acid promotes skeletal muscle regeneration through the TGR5 receptor
Lithocholic acid (LCA) is a classical secondary bile acid formed by the metabolism of gut microbiota. The TGR5 receptor (also known as G protein-coupled receptor 1, GPBAR1) is an important bile acid membrane receptor that mediates a variety of metabolic ...

Bile Acids Induce Neurite Outgrowth in Nsc-34 Cells via TGR5 and a Distinct Transcriptional Profile
Increasing evidence supports a neuroprotective role for bile acids in major neurodegenerative disorders. We studied major human bile acids as signaling molecules for their two cellular receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR or NR1H4) and G protein-coupled ...

Mutational characterization of the bile acid receptor TGR5 in primary sclerosing cholangitis. [PDF]
TGR5, the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1), has been linked to inflammatory pathways as well as bile homeostasis, and could therefore be involved in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) a chronic inflammatory bile duct disease. We aimed to

Systemic bile acid sensing by
Background and PurposeNutrient sensing in the gut is believed to be accomplished through activation of GPCRs expressed on enteroendocrine cells. In particular, L‐cells located predominantly in distal regions of the gut secrete glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP‐1) and peptide tyrosine‐tyrosine (PYY) upon stimulation by nutrients and bile acids (BA).

The Bile Acid Membrane Receptor TGR5 in Cancer: Friend or Foe?
The G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor, Gpbar1 or TGR5, is characterized as a membrane receptor specifically activated by bile acids. A series of evidence shows that TGR5 induces protein kinase B (AKT), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), extracellular ...

Recent advances in understanding bile acid homeostasis [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Bile acids are derived from cholesterol to facilitate intestinal nutrient absorption and biliary secretion of cholesterol. Recent studies have identified bile acids as signaling molecules that activate nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and membrane G ...

Metabolic Effects of Bile Acids: Potential Role in Bariatric SurgerySummary
Bariatric surgery is the most effective and durable treatment for morbid obesity, with an unexplained yet beneficial side effect of restoring insulin sensitivity and improving glycemia, often before weight loss is observed.

Intestinal Co-culture System to Study TGR5 Agonism and Gut Restriction
The activation of the Takeda G-protein receptor 5 (TGR5, also known as the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1, GPBAR1) in enteroendocrine L-cells results in secretion of the anti-diabetic hormone Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) into systemic ...
