Reciprocal regulation of farnesoid X receptor α activity and hepatitis B virus replication in differentiated HepaRG cells and primary human hepatocytes

TL;DR: HBV replication and FXR regulation seem to be interdependent, and altered bile salt metabolism homeostasis might contribute to the persistence of HBV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatic Farnesoid X-Receptor Isoforms α2 and α4 Differentially Modulate Bile Salt and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Mice

TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time, that hepatic FXRα2 andFXRα4 differentially modulate bile salt and lipoprotein metabolism in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

FXR expression is associated with dysregulated glucose and lipid levels in the offspring kidney induced by maternal obesity

TL;DR: Glucose intolerance in the offspring of obese mothers was evident at weaning, with associated downregulation of renal FXR expression and upregulation of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF- β1) suggesting a potential protective role for FXR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of farnesoid X receptor and its role in bile acid metabolism

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of the discovery of FXR as a bile acid sensor in the regulation of Bile acid metabolism and as a metabolic regulator of lipid, glucose, and energy homeostasis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic Mechanisms of Bile Acids and Nor-Ursodeoxycholic Acid in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: NorUDCA has unique biochemical and therapeutic properties, since it is relatively resistant to conjugation with glycine or taurine compared to UDCA, and it showed anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-lipotoxic properties in several animal models.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
