Obeticholic acid (INT-747) increases the expression of FXR-regulated genes in rat hepatocytes[1]. Obeticholic acid (INT-747) reduces expression of liver JNK-1 and JNK-2[2]. Obeticholic acid (INT-747) (256 μg/mL) shows complete inhibition of bacterial growth in all strains tested. Intestinal permeability remains unaffected after INT-747-addition to an IFN-γ-exposed intestinal epithelium of Caco-2 cells[3].

Protocol
Initially, all animals (at 6-weeks age) are placed on a standard rodent diet for a week. Baseline blood and urine samples are collected and basal blood pressure (BP) is measured prior to grouping the animals. Subsequently, the animals are randomized into low (LS; n=9) or high salt (HS) diet groups. Hypertension is induced in the HS group by daily high-salt diet feeding and the group is subdivided to receive one of two doses of INT-747: low dose (10 mg/kg/day; n=15) or high dose (30 mg/kg/day; n=15) in 1% methylcellulose; or vehicle (1% methylcellulose in distilled water; n=15) orally everyday for 6 weeks. In parallel, the LS group also receive 1% methylcellulose. BP is measured weekly for the duration of the study as described below.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
