Experimental study reveals gut microbiota promotes diet-induced obesity through farnesoid X receptor in metabolic models, suggesting bidirectional signaling modulates adiposity.
Our results indicate that the gut microbiota promotes diet-induced obesity and associated phenotypes through FXR, and that FXR may contribute to increased adiposity by altering the microbiota composition.
