Microbiota-induced obesity requires farnesoid X receptor
OBJECTIVE The gut microbiota has been implicated as an environmental factor that modulates obesity, and recent evidence suggests that microbiota-mediated changes in bile acid profiles and signalling through the bile acid nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) contribute to impaired host metabolism. Here we investigated if the gut microbiota modulates obesity and associated phenotypes throu...
متن کاملFarnesoid X Receptor Signaling Shapes the Gut Microbiota and Controls Hepatic Lipid Metabolism
The gut microbiota modulates obesity and associated metabolic phenotypes in part through intestinal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling. Glycine-β-muricholic acid (Gly-MCA), an intestinal FXR antagonist, has been reported to prevent or reverse high-fat diet (HFD)-induced and genetic obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver; however, the mechanism by which these phenotypes are improved is n...
متن کاملAntiatherosclerotic effect of farnesoid X receptor.
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily that functions as an endogenous sensor for bile acids and regulates cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. The effect of FXR activation on aortic plaque formation was assessed by feeding apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice with the synthetic FXR ligand INT-747, a cheno-deoxycholic acid derivative, at doses of 3...
متن کاملThe Farnesoid X Receptor: Good for BAD
Diarrhea is a feature of several chronic intestinal disorders that are associated with increased delivery of bile acids into the colon. Although the prevalence of bile acid diarrhea is high, affecting approximately 1% of the adult population, current therapies often are unsatisfactory. By virtue of its capacity to inhibit colonic epithelial fluid secretion and to down-regulate hepatic bile acid...
متن کاملIntestine-selective farnesoid X receptor inhibition improves obesity-related metabolic dysfunction
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) regulates bile acid, lipid and glucose metabolism. Here we show that treatment of mice with glycine-β-muricholic acid (Gly-MCA) inhibits FXR signalling exclusively in intestine, and improves metabolic parameters in mouse models of obesity. Gly-MCA is a selective high-affinity FXR inhibitor that can be administered orally and prevents, or reverses, high-fat diet-in...
