Abstract

Alcoholic liver disease is liver disease caused by heavy and/or chronic alcohol consumption. Bile acids are synthesized in the liver and regulate the body through liver-intestinal circulation. Many studies have shown that bile acid is closely related to alcoholic liver disease. Alcohol intake can cause liver damage by affecting bile acid synthesis, hepato-enteric circulation and intestinal flora. This article summarizes the mechanism of action of bile acids in alcoholic liver disease and the current research status of improving alcoholic liver disease based on bile acid regulation, in order to provide new ideas for future research on the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease.
