Abstract

The classic role of bile acids is as a key component of cholesterol homeostasis. New evidence recently published in Nature (Watanabe et al., 2006), however, describes a bile acid signaling pathway that controls energy expenditure through induction of thyroid hormone signaling pathways. This work may point to new approaches to tissue-specific metabolic regulation.
