doi: 10.1097/HC9.0000000000000285
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Real-time PCR of the liver samples of mice fed a BD, amylin liver metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (amylin MASH) (MASH group), amylin MASH with elobixibat alone (E) and cholestyramine alone (C), or amylin MASH with a combination of EC (n=5–8). (B) FXR protein levels (n=4). (C) Real-time PCR of the ileum samples of mice fed a BD, amylin MASH (MASH group), amylin MASH with elobixibat alone (E) and cholestyramine alone (C), or amylin MASH with a combination of EC (n=5–7). Data are presented as the mean±SE. Significance was determined using Student t test. * p <0.05, ** p <0.01. Abbreviations: ACC, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; ASBT, apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter; BD, basal diet; BSEP, bile salt export pump; C, cholestyramine; CYP7a1, cytochrome P450 7A1; E, elobixibat; EC, elobixibat and cholestyramine; FAS, fatty acid synthase; FXR, farnesoid X receptor; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase; MASH, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis; MTTP, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; SCD1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1; SHP, small heterodimer partner.
