Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(
NAFLD)is a relatively common chronic
liver disease with imbal- anced
lipid metabolism, and its
incidence is increasing year by year.
NAFLD is closely related to
bile acid excretion, ab- normal
bile acid synthesis and
liver fibrosis. Farnesolid X receptor(FXR)regulates
bile acid transport, inhibits
bile acid synthesis and resists
liver fibrosis. Obeticholic
acid is a targeted
drug for the
treatment of
NAFLD targeting the
farnesol X receptor, which can effectively regulate fat
metabolism and
blood sugar balance. This
review summarizes the mechanism and
research progress of obeticholic
acid intervention in
NAFLD, and provides a theoretical basis for its foundamental re- search and clinical application.
