doi: 10.3390/cells8101197
Figure Lengend Snippet: FXR and bile acid handling protein expression in Zucker rat villus cells. ( A ) FXR expression was significantly increased in ileal villus cells from OZR compared to LZR. ( B ). Ileal bile acid binding protein levels were also significantly increased in villus cells from OZR compared to leans. ( C ) Organic solute transporter alpha (OSTα) protein expression was significantly increased in villus cells from OZR compared to LZR. ( D ) OSTα protein expression was also increased in villus cell plasma membrane from OZR compared to LZR.
