Farnesoid X Receptor Protects Liver Cells from Apoptosis Induced by Serum Deprivation in Vitro and Fasting in Vivo
25 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a key metabolic regulator in the liver by maintaining the homeostasis of liver metabolites. Recent findings suggest that FXR may have a much broader function in liver physiology and pathology. In the present work, we identify a novel role of FXR in protecting liver cell from apoptosis induced by nutritional withdrawal including serum deprivation in vitro or starvation in vivo....
