Carbohydrate model equations for total fecal bile acids excretion.
| Species | Soluble fibera | Outcomeb | Equation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dog | No | Fecal excretion of BA (lognormal distribution) | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 0.654 (± 0.275) – 0.0273 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) |
| Yes | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 0.654 (± 0.275) – 0.0234 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) | ||
| Guinea Pig | No | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 1.167 (± 0.337) – 0.0273 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) | |
| Yes | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 1.167 (± 0.337) – 0.0234 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) | ||
| Hamster | No | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 1.222 (± 0.218) – 0.0273 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) | |
| Yes | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 1.222 (± 0.218) – 0.0234 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) | ||
| Rat | No | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 0.0273 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) | |
| Yes | = 0.934 (± 0.7463) – 0.0234 (± 0.012) × Dietary carbohydrate (%) |
a
Addition of an ingredient in the diet that is a major source of soluble fiber.
b
Fecal excretion of BA must be backtransformed from a lognormal distribution to obtain results in μmol/g food intake.
