TLDR
Administration of 25 or 50 mg OCA for 6 weeks was well tolerated, increased insulin sensitivity, and reduced markers of liver inflammation and fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, attenuates the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in a mouse model of human NASH

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that SGLT2 inhibitors represent the unique class of drugs that can attenuate or delay the onset of NASH and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma, at least partly, through “healthy adipose expansion”.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of farnesoid X receptor in metabolic diseases, and gastrointestinal and liver cancer.

TL;DR: A review on the role of the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in metabolic diseases and liver cancer is presented in this article, where the potential for development of targeted drugs are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile acid diarrhoea and FGF19: new views on diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapy

TL;DR: Evidence indicates that bile acid diarrhoea accounts for a sizeable proportion of patients who would otherwise be diagnosed with IBS, and the role of the ileal hormone FGF19 in BAD has been strengthened: a prospective clinical study has confirmed low F GF19 levels in BAD, and so a test to measure these levels could be developed for diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile acid receptors in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Recent advances on the role of both FXR and TGR5 in regulating hepatic triglyceride metabolism and inflammatory responses under normal and disease conditions are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: current approaches and future directions.

TL;DR: Increased clinical awareness and improved screening strategies are needed, to translate recent treatment progress into early treatment and improved quality of life for patients with type 2 diabetes and NASH.

TL;DR: The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dys-function, and failure of differentorgans, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.

Glucose clamp technique: a method for quantifying insulin secretion and resistance.

TL;DR: Methods for the quantification of beta-cell sensitivity to glucose (hyperglycemic clamp technique) and of tissue sensitivity to insulin (euglycemic insulin clamp technique] are described.

Fibroblast growth factor 15 functions as an enterohepatic signal to regulate bile acid homeostasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fibroblast growth factor 15 signals from intestine to liver to repress the gene encoding cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), which catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the classical bile acid synthetic pathway.

Role of Bile Acids and Bile Acid Receptors in Metabolic Regulation

TL;DR: Results suggest that modulation of FXR activity and BA metabolism may open new attractive pharmacological approaches for the treatment of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
