TGR5-Mediated Bile Acid Sensing Controls Glucose Homeostasis

TLDR
It is shown here that TGR5 signaling induces intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) release, leading to improved liver and pancreatic function and enhanced glucose tolerance in obese mice, and suggested that pharmacological targeting of T GR5 may constitute a promising incretin-based strategy for the treatment of diabesity and associated metabolic disorders.

Functional interactions between the gut microbiota and host metabolism

TL;DR: Through increased knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the interactions between the microbiota and its host, the world will be in a better position to develop treatments for metabolic disease.

Intestinal Crosstalk between Bile Acids and Microbiota and Its Impact on Host Metabolism.

TL;DR: Host metabolism can be affected through microbial modifications of bile acids, which lead to altered signaling via bile acid receptors, but also by altered microbiota composition.

Gut microbiota in human metabolic health and disease.

TL;DR: How the gut microbiota and derived microbial compounds may contribute to human metabolic health and to the pathogenesis of common metabolic diseases are discussed, and examples of microbiota-targeted interventions aiming to optimize metabolic health are highlighted.

Thyroid Hormone Regulation of Metabolism

TL;DR: The role of TH in regulating metabolic pathways has led to several new therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders and understanding the mechanisms and interactions of the various TH signaling pathways in metabolism will improve the likelihood of identifying effective and selective targets.

Abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: This work has shown that abdominal obesity — the most prevalent manifestation of metabolic syndrome — is a marker of 'dysfunctional adipose tissue', and is of central importance in clinical diagnosis.

The incretin system: glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Clinical trials with the incretin mimetic exenatide and liraglutide show reductions in fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations, and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) associated with weight loss, but long-term clinical studies are needed to determine the benefits of targeting the inc retin axis for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

The biology of incretin hormones.

TL;DR: Current concepts of incretin action are summarized and the potential therapeutic utility of GLP-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is highlighted.

Bile acids induce energy expenditure by promoting intracellular thyroid hormone activation

TL;DR: It is shown that the administration of BAs to mice increases energy expenditure in brown adipose tissue, preventing obesity and resistance to insulin, and indicates that BAs might be able to function beyond the control of BA homeostasis as general metabolic integrators.

Free fatty acids regulate gut incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion through GPR120.

TL;DR: It is shown that a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR120, which is abundantly expressed in intestine, functions as a receptor for unsaturated long-chain FFAs and promotes the secretion of GLP-1 in vitro and in vivo, and increases circulating insulin.
