Recent studies indicate farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays an important role in regulating lipid metabolism in kidney disease. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), a FXR agonist, on fibrosis, inflammation and oxidative stress in kidney in rats fed on high fructose.
