Cholesterol excretion pathways remain unaffected by dietary sc- and lc-inulin. (A) Biliary cholesterol secretion; (B) total fecal neutral sterol (NS) excretion; (C) intestinal fractional cholesterol absorption; (D) trans-intestinal cholesterol efflux (TICE). At day 14 bile cannulation was performed for continuous collection of bile. Feces were collected over 72 h and analyzed for NS as detailed in methods. Fractional cholesterol absorption was measured using the plasma dual isotope method. Data are presented as box plots showing median (interquartile range) and min/max; at least n = 6 for each group.
