“…TGR5, also known as GPBAR1, is widely distributed in the skeletal muscle, white and brown adipocytes, ileum, and enterohepatic tissues except hepatic parenchymal cells. TGR5-dependent pathways are crucial for protecting hepatocytes from injuries, involving improvement of glucose homeostasis, gallbladder dilatation, hepatic inflammation, and energy expenditure (Carino et al, 2017;Ginos et al, 2018;Iracheta-Vellve et al, 2018;Bidault-Jourdainne et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022). In addition, diminished TGR5 signals were found to be correlated with downregulated secondary bile acids, attributed to alterations in the abundance of bacteria involved in bile acid transformation (Spatz et al, 2021).…”
