Gallstones are crystalline deposits in the gallbladder that are traditionally classified as cholesterol, pigment or mixed stones based on their composition. Microbiota and host metabolism variances among the different types of gallstones remain largely unclear. Here, the bile and gallstone microb...
Dyslipidemia is a major cardiovascular risk factor. While dietary phytosterols are known to lower cholesterol, the mechanisms involving the gut-liver axis are not fully understood. By integrating human clinical trials and mechanistic animal models, we demonstrate that phytosterols improve lipid p...
Introduction:
Bariatric surgery profoundly improves type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the specific mechanisms linking distinct procedures to metabolic benefits through bile acid (BA) remodeling remain incompletely understood. This study investigates the differential effects of single-anastomo...
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the bile acid (BA) metabolomic profile of umbilical cord blood (UCB) and meconium in healthy newborns.
METHODS: Fifteen healthy newborns, which born in the Obstetrics Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical Univ...
This study aims to compare changes in bile acid profiles between fecal samples from rats fed a standard control diet and those fed a high-fat diet.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal bacteria are known to regulate the bile acid (BA) homeostasis via intestinal biotransformation of BAs and stimulating the expression of fibroblast growth factor 19 through intestinal nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR). On the other hand, BAs directly regula...
