Aims: The bile acid (BA), tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) regulates glucose homeostasis; however, it is not clear whether its effects on insulin signaling are due to its direct interaction with the insulin receptor (IR) or through activation of the G-coupled BA receptor, TGR5. We, herein, investigated whether the actions of TUDCA on glucose homeostasis occur via IR or TGR5 activation.

Main Methods: Glucose homeostasis was evaluated in high-fat diet (HFD)-obese or control (CTL) mice, after 30 days or one intraperitoneal (ip) injection of 300 mg/kg TUDCA, respectively.
