Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common metabolic diseases encountered in clinical practice, which is characterized by the excessive accumulation of triglycerides (steatosis), and a variety of metabolic abnormalities including lipid metabolism and bile acid metabolism are closely related to NAFLD. In China, Gynostemma pentaphyllum is used as functional food and Chinese medicine to treat various diseases, especially NAFLD, for a long time. However, the active components that exert the main therapeutic effects and their mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, Gypensapogenin A was isolated from the total saponins of G. pentaphyllum and prepared as a liposomal delivery system. Gypensapogenin A liposomes could activate FXR, inhibit the expression of CYP7A1 and CYP8B1, increase the expression of CYP27A1, modulate the ratio of CA and CDCA, decrease the content of CA, and increase the content of CDCA, thus forming a virtuous cycle of activating FXR to play a role in lowering blood lipid levels.
