Core Tip Xu et al revealed that the Prevotellaceae NK3B31 group/7-ketolithocholic acid (7-KLCA)/farnesoid X receptor (FXR) axis drives hepatic gluconeogenesis suppression in distal bowel resection with terminal ileum preservation; a metabolic surgery model. Multiomics linked microbial enrichment to 7-KLCA elevation and FXR activation, downregulating gluconeogenic genes. This improves understanding of gut microbiota–bile acid crosstalk, highlighting species-specific bile acid roles. Translational potential lies in targeting this axis (probiotics/7-KLCA analogs) for metabolic disease.
