The Novel Compounds That Activate Farnesoid X Receptor: the Diversity of Their Effects on Gene Expression

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) controls the expression of critical genes in bile acid and cholesterol homeostasis. To study FXR and to develop a regulator of cholesterol, some nonsteroidal and steroidal ligands have been found in addition to endogenous ligands for FXR. In this study, we discovered five...
