1 Identification of bile acid precursors as endogenous ligands for the nuclear xenobiotic pregnane X receptor. Bile Acids and Salts nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 2 Mus musculus
2 In parallel, the induction of Cyp3a11 observed in these mice is reversed, suggesting that bile acid intermediates serve as PXR activators. Bile Acids and Salts nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 2 Mus musculus
3 Taken together, these results reveal the existence of a feedforward regulatory loop by which potentially toxic bile acid intermediates activate PXR and induce their own metabolism. Bile Acids and Salts nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 2 Mus musculus
