Bile Acid Homeostasis in a Cholesterol 7α‐Hydroxylase and Sterol 27‐Hydroxylase Double Knockout Mouse Model

Daniel Rizzolo, Kyle Buckley, Bo Kong, Le Zhan, Jianliang Shen, Mary Stofan, Anita Brinker, Michael Goedken, Brian Buckley, Grace L. Guo – 12 March 2019 – Bile acids (BAs) are diverse molecules that are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. The synthesis of BAs has traditionally been shown to occur through two pathways. Cholesterol 7α‐hydroxylase (CYP7A1) performs the initial and rate‐limiting step in the classical pathway, and sterol 27‐hydroxylase (CYP27A1) initiates the hydroxylation of cholesterol in the alternative pathway.

Home‐Based Exercise in Patients Awaiting Liver Transplantation: A Feasibility Study

Felicity Rhian Williams, Alice Vallance, Thomas Faulkner, Jennifer Towey, Simon Durman, Derek Kyte, Ahmed Mohamed Elsharkawy, Thamara Perera, Andrew Holt, James Ferguson, Janet M. Lord, Matthew James Armstrong – 11 March 2019 – Frailty is associated with increased mortality both before and after liver transplantation (LT). There are no standardized exercise programs, in particular home‐based exercise programs (HBEPs), for patients awaiting LT. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of such a program in patients awaiting LT.
