Mouse species-specific control of hepatocarcinogenesis and metabolism by FGF19/FGF15.

TL;DR: Fundamental species-associated differences between FGF19 and FGF15 may restrict the relevance of mouse models for the study of the FXR/FGF19 pathway, and underscore the importance of clinical assessment of this pathway, with respect to both safety and efficacy in humans.

Interaction of gut microbiota with dysregulation of bile acids in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and potential therapeutic implications of probiotics

TL;DR: It is posited that microbiome restoration could be an alternative approach for the treatment of NAFLD and careful selection of commensal bacteria for probiotics may lead to an effective therapy forNAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progress and challenges of selective Farnesoid X Receptor modulation.

TL;DR: The rationale for the design of SBARMs comprising dissociation between metabolic and inflammatory signaling, gene-selective and tissue-specific targeting, and the potential structural mechanisms underlying the binding properties of dissociating ligands of FXR are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile Acids and FXR: Novel Targets for Liver Diseases.

TL;DR: An updated literature review on BA homeostasis and FXR modulator development is provided and it is shown that FXR plays a tissue-specific role in suppressing BA synthesis and promoting BA enterohepatic circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting Metabolism, Insulin Resistance, and Diabetes to Treat Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.

TL;DR: This Perspective will review some of the relevant literature on the topic and examine approved and experimental NASH therapeutic concepts that target intermediary metabolism, insulin resistance, and diabetes to treat this emerging public health problem.

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.
