Gut Immunity and Microbiota Dysbiosis Are Associated with Altered Bile Acid Metabolism in LPS-Challenged Piglets

Figure 4

LPS damaged the ileal genes and protein expression related to enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. (a) Protein expression of bile acid receptors FXR and TGR5. FXR: farnesoid X receptor; TGR5: G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1. (b) Expression of genes that regulate bile acid metabolism. SHP: small heterodimer partner; FGF19: fibroblast growth factor 19. (c) Expression of genes required for bile acid transportation. ASBT: apical sodium-dependent BA transporter; Ibabp: ileal bile acid-binding protein; OST-α: organic solute transporter subunit α; OST-β: organic solute transporter subunit β; MRP2: multidrug resistance-associated protein 2. , , and were regarded as statistically significant.
