Role of AMPK in regulation of bile acid metabolism / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation also can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol and fat.Recent studies have shown that activation of AMPK can also inhibit the synthesis of bile acid and promote bile salt export pump' s generation.All of those illustrated that AMPK played an important role in regulating bile acid metabolism.This article will summarize the AMPK activation pathway,bile acid metabolism,AMPK activity in bile acid synthesis and transfer,and so on.
