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.

Novel Pharmacotherapy Options for NASH

TL;DR: The need for specific pharmacotherapy is now acknowledged by practitioners, the pharmaceutical industry, and regulators and is largely expected by patients, and there is a clear move away from products developed second hand for NASH or from generic, non-specific hepatoprotectors toward molecules developed and tested specifically forNASH.

Modeling and Experimental Studies of Obeticholic Acid Exposure and the Impact of Cirrhosis Stage.

TL;DR: There was good agreement between predicted and observed increases in systemic OCA exposure in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment, which were 1.4‐, 8‐, and 13‐fold relative to healthy volunteers.

The intrahepatic expression levels of bile acid transporters are inversely correlated with the histological progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: The expression levels of the BA export transporter BSEP were inversely correlated with NAS in NAFLD patients, suggesting down-regulation may cause excessive BA levels in hepatocytes, leading to cell injury.

Activation of FXR protects against renal fibrosis via suppressing Smad3 expression.

TL;DR: It is found that the level of FXR was negatively correlated with that of Smad3 and fibronectin (a marker of fibrosis) in human fibrotic kidneys, and FXR/Smad3 pathway may be a novel target for the treatment of renal fibrosis.

Farnesoid X receptor agonist INT-767 attenuates liver steatosis and inflammation in rat model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

TL;DR: INT-767 robustly restores the lipid, glucose metabolism to normal level, attenuates insulin resistance through upregulating FXR level and reverting the dysregulation of its target genes in liver metabolism, and attenuates the pro-inflammatory response by suppression of TNF-α and NF-κB signaling pathway.

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.
