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 ...

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.

Regulatory effects of dandelion flavonoids in LPS-induced immune stress in broilers [PDF]
This study investigated the protective effect of dandelion flavonoids (DF) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced immune stress in broilers. A total of 400 healthy one-day-old Cobb 500 broilers with similar body weight were randomly assigned to five ...

Integrating Untargeted Metabolomics and Transcriptomics in Mice with Pulmonary Tuberculosis to Reveal Changes in Linoleic Acid and Its Metabolism in Lung Monocyte-Derived Macrophages [PDF]
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge. The molecular and metabolic responses of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), which are critical for host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), are not fully characterized ...

Taurocholic acid is an active promoting factor, not just a biomarker of progression of liver cirrhosis: evidence from a human metabolomic study and in vitro experiments [PDF]
Background Previous studies have indicated that bile acid is associated with progression of liver cirrhosis. However, the particular role of specific bile acid in the development of liver cirrhosis is not definite.

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-
