The Thyromimetic, GC-1, Alters Bile Acid Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Hepatic Cholestasis

No need to search high and low for the latest Pathology industry news as Lab.Equipment guarantees you are updated no matter where you are. This week’s article is curated from The American Journal of Pathology:

Chronic cholestasis results from bile secretory defects or impaired bile flow with few effective medical therapies available. Thyroid hormone triiodothyronine and synthetic thyroid hormone receptor agonists, such as GC-1, are known to impact lipid and bile acid (BA) metabolism and induce hepatocyte proliferation downstream of Wnt/β-catenin signaling after surgical resection; however, these drugs have yet to be studied as potential therapeutics for cholestatic liver disease. Here, GC-1 was administered to ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4 (Abcb4-/-; Mdr2-/-) knockout (KO) mice, a sclerosing cholangitis model.... Want to read more?
