Altered bile acid composition and disposition in a mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive inflammatory and fibrotic disease. However, the progression mechanism of NASH is not well understood. Bile acids are endogenous molecules that regulate cholesterol homeostasis, lipid solubilization in the intestinal lumen, and metabolic signaling via several receptors. In this study, we investigated the relationship between bile acid composition and NASH-associated fibrosis using a mouse...
