Effects of Fgf15 deficiency on BA-related gene expression in the intestine and liver with SGx. (A) Relative mRNA levels of ileal genes associated with BA transport and regulation; (B) relative mRNA levels of BA synthesis genes in the liver; (C) relative mRNA levels of liver genes associated with BA transport and regulation in both WT and Fgf15 ile−/− mice at preop state, 1, 2, and 3-month HFD-fed mice following SGx. (n=4, 4, 6, 4 for WT, respectively; n=5, 6, 6, 8 for Fgf15 ile−/−, respectively). $ is for statistical significance (p < 0.05) within the same genotype compared to preop control. # is for statistical significance (p < 0.05) within the same time point. Abbreviations: BA, bile acid; SGx, vertical sleeve gastrectomy; WT, wild-type.
