Abstract
Aim: Bile acids (BA) are potent signaling molecules that, through activation of nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the membrane G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 modulate BA homeostasis, inflammation, and lipid and glucose metabolism. It has recently showed that pharmacological dual activation TGR5 and FXR plays significant role in prevention of atherosclerosis progression and this activation of BA receptors may be promising targets for treatment of both liver and metabolic disease. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) administration is strongly associated with chronic inflammation and disturbances in BA metabolism in patients. We tested hypothesis that basal and pro-inflammatory activated status of circulating monocytes in parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) could be affected by BA receptor (FXR/TGR5) agonist (INT-767).
