Bile acid metabolism and signaling in liver disease and therapy

John Y.L. Chiang · 11 May 2017

Bile acids play a critical role in the regulation of glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism through activation of the nuclear bile acid receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and membrane G protein-coupled bile acid receptor-1 (Gpbar-1, aka TGR5). Agonist activation of FXR and TGR5 improves insulin and glucose sensitivity and stimulates energy metabolism to prevent diabetes,…

Up to date on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in bile acid synthesis

John Y.L. Chiang, Jessica M. Ferrell · 1 Jun 2020

Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1, EC1.14) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the classic bile acid synthesis pathway. Much progress has been made in understanding the transcriptional regulation of CYP7A1 gene expression and the underlying molecular mechanisms of bile acid feedback regulation of CYP7A1 and bile acid synthesis in the last three decades. Discovery of…

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and liver diseases

Xiaoying Liu, Richard M. Green · 30 Jan 2019

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs when ER homeostasis is perturbed with accumulation of unfolded/misfolded protein or calcium depletion. The unfolded protein response (UPR), comprising of inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), PKR-like ER kinase (PERK) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) signaling pathways, is a protective cellular response activated by ER stress. However, UPR activation can also…

Hepatic lipid homeostasis by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2

Yoon Kwang Lee, Jung Eun Park, Mikang Lee et al. · 1 Dec 2018

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ or PPARG) is a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. It plays a master role in the differentiation and proliferation of adipose tissues. It has two major isoforms, PPARγ1 and PPARγ2, encoded from a single gene using two separate promoters and alternative splicing. Among them, PPARγ2…

The acidic pathway of bile acid synthesis: Not just an alternative pathway

William M. Pandak, Genta Kakiyama · 21 May 2019

Over the last two decades, the prevalence of obesity, and metabolic syndromes (MS) such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), have dramatically increased. Bile acids play a major role in the digestion, absorption of nutrients, and the body's redistribution of absorbed lipids as a function of their chemistry and…

Liver Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Liver Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Liver Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Liver Research use?
