Nuclear receptors in bile acid metabolism.

Bile acids are signaling molecules that activate nuclear receptors, such as farnesoid X receptor, pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, and vitamin D receptor, and play a critical role in the regulation of lipid, glucose, energy, and…

The adenosine 2A receptor agonist GW328267C improves lung function after acute lung injury in rats.

There is a significant unmet need for treatments of patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The primary mechanism that leads to resolution of alveolar and pulmonary edema is active vectorial Na(+) and…

Macromolecular transport in canine coronary microvasculature.

Coronary vascular osmotic reflection coefficients (sigma dS) for total protein, albumin (Alb), immunoglobulin (Ig)G, and IgM were determined in the anesthetized dog. Myocardial lymph was collected from the anterior interventricular lymphatic trunk,…

Bile acids as metabolic regulators.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review focuses on the latest understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex interactions between intestine and liver bile acid signaling, gut microbiota, and their impact on whole-body lipid, glucose and…

Farnesoid X receptor activation increases reverse cholesterol transport by modulating bile acid composition and cholesterol absorption in mice.

UNLABELLED: Activation of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) markedly attenuates development of atherosclerosis in animal models. However, the underlying mechanism is not well elucidated. Here, we show that the FXR agonist, obeticholic acid (OCA), increases…
