The cycle of gallbladder filling and emptying controls the flow of bile into the intestine for digestion. Here we show that fibroblast growth factor-15, a hormone made by the distal small intestine in response to bile acids, is required for gallbladder filling. These studies demonstrate that gallbladder filling is actively regulated by an endocrine pathway and suggest a postprandial timing mechanism that controls gallbladder motility.
胆囊的充盈和排空周期控制着胆汁流入肠道以进行消化。我们在此表明,成纤维细胞生长因子-15是一种由远端小肠在胆汁酸作用下产生的激素,它是胆囊充盈所必需的。这些研究表明,胆囊充盈是由一条内分泌途径积极调控的,并提示了一种控制胆囊运动的餐后定时机制。
