NAFLD is highly prevalent with limited treatment options. Bile acids (BAs) increase in the systemic circulation and liver during NAFLD progression. Changes in plasma membrane localization and zonal distribution of BA transporters can influence transport function and BA homeostasis. However, a thorough characterization of how NAFLD influences these factors is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of NAFLD and the accompanying histologic features on the functional capacity of key hepatocyte BA transporters across zonal regions in human liver biopsies.
