Fecal bile acid (BA) concentrations (lognormal data scale) in dogs, guinea pigs, hamster and rats for the model equations developed.

Species	Carbohydrate model		Protein model		Fat model
	LSmeans*	P -value	LSmeans*	P -value	LSmeans*	P -value
Dog	−1.11b ± 0.244	0.0003	−1.08ab ± 0.300	0.0006	−1.217ab ± 0.284	0.0009
Guinea Pig	−1.62b ± 0.275		−1.45b ± 0.303		−1.372b ± 0.304
Hamster	−1.68b ± 0.146		−1.60b ± 0.192		−1.540b ± 0.196
Rat	−0.46a ± 0.134		−0.63a ± 0.121		−0.586a ± 0.125

^*Fecal excretion of BA must be backtransformed from a lognormal distribution to obtain results in μmol/g food intake.
