Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Farnesoid x receptor (FXR) belongs to the group of nuclear receptors (NRs), which regulate the expression of various genes by binding to DNA either as a monomer or a heterodimer with retinoid x receptor. AREAS COVERED: FXR affects several metabolic pathways through its specific target genes, regulating bile acid (BA) synthesis and homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism, also exhibiting a crucial...
