Cholic acid (0.1%) treatment delays the accumulation of hepatic retinoids in mice. Mice were fed chow or a CA (0.1%)-containing diet for 4, 8 and 12 weeks. (A) Hepatic retinyl palmitate was significantly decreased CA-fed treated mice after 12 weeks as compared to control mice. (B) Hepatic and serum retinol levels did not differ at any time point between both groups of mice. (C) Hepatic mRNA levels FXR-responsive genes Nr0b2 (SHP) and Abcb11 (BSEP) were moderately increased in CA-treated animals compared to control mice. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM and mRNA expression of genes is presented in 2−delta CT, which was normalized to 36B4.
