Ursodeoxycholic acid inhibits uptake and vasoconstrictor effects of taurocholate in human placenta [PDF]

The FASEB Journal, 2019
ABSTRACT Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) causes increased transfer of maternal bile acids to the fetus and an increased incidence of sudden fetal death. Treatment includes ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), but it is not clear if UDCA protects the fetus.

Bile acid metabolism and signaling in human and animal health: A One Health perspective

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Bile acids maintain host homeostasis through enterohepatic circulation, microbial transformation, and bile acid receptor signaling, thereby regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, intestinal barrier integrity, and immunity. These effects support human disease intervention and health‐oriented animal production, reducing drug dependence and residue ...

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Pemafibrate Improves Cholestatic Markers Regardless of the Presence of Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Pemafibrate improves liver function markers related to bile flow in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), but whether this effect is disease‐specific remains unclear. In this study, pemafibrate reduced these markers in patients with and without PBC, suggesting broader effects on bile flow beyond PBC.

The Oral‐Gut Axis: Bidirectional Interactions Between Microbiome and Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This study aims to summarize the mechanisms underlying ectopic colonization of the gut by oral pathobionts and the microbial and host factors that regulate this process. ABSTRACT Increased colonization of typically oral microorganisms is frequently observed in the gut mucosa or lumen of individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, including patients ...

Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanistic interplay between periodontitis and IBD, with a particular emphasis on the microbial and immunological crosstalk linking the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.

Evolution of substrate specificity for the bile salt transporter ASBT (SLC10A2)[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
The apical Na+-dependent bile salt transporter (ASBT/SLC10A2) is essential for maintaining the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts. It is not known when Slc10a2 evolved as a bile salt transporter or how it adapted to substantial changes in bile salt ...

Baat‐Deficient Mice Recapitulate Elevated 7α‐Hydroxy‐3‐Oxo‐4‐Cholestenoic Acid Observed in a Japanese Patient With BAAT Deficiency

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 5, September 2026.
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
