Figure 3 The critical role of dysbiosis/bile acids/farnesoid X receptor/TGR5 axis in diabetes mellitus. Bile acids were synthesized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 7A1/CYP27A1. Gut microbiota regulates the BA pool size and composition, thereby participating in energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation of the host by activating farnesoid X receptor/TGR5 in various tissues. BA: Bile acid; CYP: Cytochrome P450; FXR: Farnesoid X receptor; GPBAR1: G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1; CA: Cholic acid; CDCA: Chenodexycholic acid; GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide 1; DCA: Deoxycholic acid; LCA: Lithocholic acid; MCA: Muricholic acid.
