Abstract

Bile acids (BAs) have been implicated in obesity-related conditions such as NAFLD and hyperlipidemia. Different human BAs exert variable biological activities. Chen et al. define genetic and microbial associations to plasma and fecal BA concentrations and composition in persons with obesity and establish their relationships with liver fat and lipid phenotypes.
