Taurocholic Acid and Glycocholic Acid Inhibit Inflammation and Activate Farnesoid X Receptor Expression in LPS-Stimulated Zebrafish and Macrophages [PDF]
A hyperactive immune response can be observed in patients with bacterial or viral infection, which may lead to the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, or “cytokine storm”, and a poor clinical outcome. Extensive research efforts have been devoted

Taurocholic acid promotes hepatic stellate cell activation via S1PR2/p38 MAPK/YAP signaling under cholestatic conditions [PDF]
Background/Aims Disrupted bile acid regulation and accumulation in the liver can contribute to progressive liver damage and fibrosis. However, the effects of bile acids on the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) remain unclear.

Taurocholic acid induces intrahepatic cholangiocyte cell proliferation via activating NRAS and YAP1 [PDF]
Biliary atresia is a neonatal cholangiopathy characterized by loss of the extrahepatic bile duct causing bile acid accumulation in the liver and subsequent fibro inflammation and abnormal proliferation of intrahepatic ducts.

Taurocholic Acid Is Associated With Disturbed Functional Connectivity in the Hippocampus of Patients With Depression [PDF]
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is characterized by abnormal metabolic profiles along the microbiome‐gut‐brain axis. Bile acids (BAs), a class of steroid compounds regulated by the host and microbes, are increasingly shown to become dysregulated in ...

Baat-Deficient Mice Recapitulate Elevated 7α-Hydroxy-3-Oxo-4-Cholestenoic Acid Observed in a Japanese Patient With BAAT Deficiency. [PDF]
ABSTRACTBile acid Coenzyme A: amino acid N‐acyltransferase (BAAT) catalyzes the conjugation of bile acids with taurine or glycine, a process essential for bile acid solubility and intestinal lipid absorption. Mutations in BAAT cause an inborn error of bile acid metabolism, typically characterized by reduced conjugated bile acids and fat‐soluble vitamin

Validation of NBD-coupled taurocholic acid for intravital analysis of bile acid transport in liver and kidney of mice [PDF]
Fluorophore-coupled bile acids (BA) represent an important tool for intravital analysis of BA flux in animal models of cholestatic diseases. However, addition of a fluorophore to a BA may alter transport properties. We developed and validated a 4-chloro-

Anti-inflammatory effects of taurocholic acid and tauroursodeoxycholic acid from rainbow trout spleen extract via NF-κB suppression [PDF]
Inflammation is an essential innate immune response, yet excessive or persistent inflammation contributes to chronic inflammatory diseases. Our previous studies demonstrated that rainbow trout spleen extracts possess potent anti-inflammatory activity ...
