Popis: We interrogate effects of gastric bypass (RYGB), compared with a low-calorie diet, on bile acid (BA), liver fat, and FXR, PPARα, and targets in rats with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Male Wistar rats received a high-fat diet (obese/NAFLD, n=24) or standard chow (lean, n=8) for 12 weeks. Obese/NAFLD rats had RYGB (n=11), sham operation pair-fed to RYGB (pair-fed sham, n=8), or sham operation (sham, n=5). Lean rats had sham operation (lean sham, n=8). Post-operatively, five RYGB rats received PPARα antagonist GW6417. Sacrifice occurred at 7 weeks. We measured weight changes, fasting total plasma BA, and liver % steatosis, triglycerides, and mRNA expression of the nuclear receptors FXR, PPARα, and their targets SHP and CPT-I. At sacrifice, obese sham was heavier (p
