Transpiration on the rebound in lowland Sumatra

Following large-scale conversion of rainforest, rubber and oil palm plantations dominate lowland Sumatra (Indonesia) and other parts of South East Asia today, with potentially far-reaching ecohydrological consequences. We assessed how such land-use change ...

TGR5 reduces macrophage migration through mTOR-induced C/EBP beta differential translation

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols

The bile acid-responsive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 is involved in several metabolic processes, and recent studies suggest that TGR5 activation may promote pathways that are protective against diet-induced diabetes. Here, we investigated the role of m ...

Role of the bile acid membrane receptor TGR5 in macrophages and metabolism

Mitsunori Nomura

Activation of the bile acid responsive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 improves metabolic homeostasis via induction of energy expenditure and release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The goal of my PhD work was to explore the role of macrophage TGR5 wit ...

TGR5 Activation Inhibits Atherosclerosis by Reducing Macrophage Inflammation and Lipid Loading

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols, Taoufiq Harach, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 has been identified as an important component of the bile acid signaling network, and its activation has been linked to enhanced energy expenditure and improved glycemic control. Here, we demonstrate that activation of T ...

The bile acid membrane receptor TGR5 as an emerging target in metabolism and inflammation

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Lilia Noriega Lopez, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols

Bile acids (BAs) are amphipathic molecules that facilitate the uptake of lipids, and their levels fluctuate in the intestine as well as in the blood circulation depending on food intake. Besides their role in dietary lipid absorption, bile acids function a ...
