Faecal bile acids and colonic bile acid membrane receptor correlate with symptom severity of diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome: A pilot study

To compare both the faecal bile acids (BAs) and the levels of two bile acid receptors, Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) and vitamin D receptor (VDR), in the colonic mucosa between patients with irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D) and healthy controls, and explore the correlations among clinical characteristics, bile acid receptors expression, and BAs.
