Bile Acid Signaling in Metabolic and Inflammatory Diseases and Drug Development
Abstract Bile acids are the end products of cholesterol catabolism. Hepatic bile acid synthesis accounts for a major fraction of daily cholesterol turnover in humans. Biliary secretion of bile acids generates bile flow and facilitates biliary secretion of lipids, endogenous metabolites, and xenobiotics. In intestine, bile acids facilitate the digestion and absorption of dietary lipids and fat-soluble vitamins.

As a 40-year Piedmont resident, longtime volunteer for the City, former Mayor and City Council member, I know what it takes to effectively serve on the City Council.
Internet providers must take lead on closing digital divide
Opinion // Open Forum We have all seen the images and heard stories: students without Internet access sitting in parks, parking lots or fast food restaurants to use public Wi-Fi to do homework. COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders illuminated how essential it is to be connected to the internet for education, healthcare work, and even public safety. Once again, it is the neediest residents who are being left out, particularly low-income communities of color.

CalSavers will enable 7.5 million more workers to start preparing for retirement
California is home to the world’s fifth-largest economy and some of its wealthiest corporations, but our state still has the highest poverty rate in the nation. Legions of California workers — from young gig workers to older laborers — have little to no savings, and face the very real prospect of retiring into poverty.
California to use ‘green’ financing to combat climate change
While Washington buries its head in the sand, Treasurer Chiang and Governor Brown are supporting the growth of the green bond market to finance and build climate-resilient projects. “President Trump may dial up his efforts to mislead the American people into believing climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese, but we Californians laugh at such lunacy because we know — without doubt or reservation — that the fate of the planet is at stake.

CalPERS and CalSTRS must stop investing in weapons that slaughter our children
The pop-pop-pop of an automatic assault rifle is a bone-chilling sound that does not belong in our schools or workplaces. Yet it happens every few days in America. In just the first three months of 2018, 76 have been killed and 205 wounded in mass shootings. Too often the weapons used are the AR-15 and other guns designed solely to kill people.
SEC must not silence voice of Wells Fargo investors
SEC must not silence voice of Wells Fargo investors When Wells Fargo made headlines for opening 3.5 million fake accounts, reports revealed that customers had tried to sue the financial giant over this fraud since at least 2013. But rather than addressing its systemic wrongdoing, Wells Fargo moved to keep the scandal out of the public eye by forcing consumers to file individual claims in secret hearings — and continue pocketing millions of dollars.
CalSavers Californians a chance at a more secure retirement
SACRAMENTO — We are in the midst of a silver tsunami that will wash nearly half of all working Californians onto the rocky shore of economic hardship. Our current retirement security problem could soon become a humanitarian crisis — if we fail to act. Our senior population, those Californians 65 and older, will nearly double in the next 15 years. With too little income they risk falling into impoverishment.

Janus v. AFSCME and what’s at stake for all California workers
The Janus v. AFSCME case before the Supreme Court today is a dangerous attack on 40 years of established law protecting the ability of unions to represent public employees who serve our states and communities. Under current law, every public employee may choose whether or not to join a union, but unions are required to negotiate on behalf of all workers, regardless of whether they join the union.

White House Petition Demands Cadet Peter Wang Receive a Full Honors Military Burial
“They want to insure that future generation of kids are taught the same values that the program has instilled in Peter.” Leong wrote. “Peter Wang, 15, was one of the students killed in Florida this past week. He was a Jrotc Cadet who was last seen, in uniform, holding doors open and thus allowing other students, teachers, and staff to flee to safety. Wang was killed in the process.

California Gubernatorial Candidate John Chiang: Why We Should Demand Educational Equity
At the core of the definition of the American Dream is the idea that wherever you are from, or whatever zip code you grew up in, we should be able to provide our families with something better than what we had. In America, we will provide our children with the opportunity for upward socioeconomic mobility. The single best way to achieve upward socioeconomic mobility has always been through getting an education.
Republican tax proposal steals from the poor to give to the rich
Ten years ago Vicki Lozano and her husband Ted lived in a lakeside home and owned a string of retail stores in the Sacramento area. Then came 2008 and the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression. They lost their home and businesses. The stress soon took its toll on their health, too. Ted was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He underwent brain surgery. Vicki had open heart surgery. “We also lost our hope for the future,” she says.

Preventing another fraudulent banking scandal
At its core, banking is about trust. We give banks our hard-earned paychecks and expect them to manage the funds responsibly and honestly. But what happens when banks break that trust? Ideally, customers should have the right to go to court and ask an impartial judge or jury to hold their bank accountable. This is not what happened when Wells Fargo employees, urged on by superiors, used customers’ personal information to open 3.5 million bogus accounts that were never authorized.
