Bile acid intake and organismic distribution in mice of two strains, C57BL/6J and 129S6/SvEvTac fed control or high fat diet (C and H, white fill) or the respective versions supplemented with cholate (CC and HC, grey fill). (A) Mean daily cholate intake from supplemented diets during the 4 week feeding trial, mean ± SD, n.s. = not significantly different (t-test). (B) Fecal bile acid excretion is increased by cholate supplementaion in both diets (p < 0.0001). (C) Bile acid amount sequestered within enterohepatic organs is increased by cholate supplementaion in both diets (p < 0.0001, but much less so in 129S6/SvEvTac mice (p < 0.0001). (D) Plasma bile acid concentration is increased by cholate supplementaion to high fat diet (p < 0.05), but much less so in 129S6/SvEvTac mice (p < 0.05). Trends are similar in the control diet groups. Group comparisons in panels B–D were conducted by separate 2-way ANOVAs for C and H diets, n = 4–7.
