Uses and methods for modulating bile acid homeostasis and treatment of bile acid disorders and diseases

Lei Ling, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, methods of modulating bile acid homeostasis or treating a bile-acid related or associated disorder, comprising using variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), variants and fusion of FGF19 and/or FGF21 proteins and peptide sequences (and peptidomimetics), were presented.

Treatment of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis in Adults: Present and Future

TL;DR: Lifestyle intervention should be optimised and the associations of different drugs should be tested in large studies with long-term outcomes, as the pathogenesis of steatohepatitis is highly complex and is determined by different parallel hits.

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.
