Total bile acids (TBA) content and the expression of genes involved in cholesterol transformation were elevated in livers of PEDV-infected piglets. (A) TBA contents in the livers of piglets were analyzed and normalized to total protein concentrations. (B,C) Western blotting analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of Cholesterol-7a-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and cholesterol-27a-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) at the protein level. Based on the intensity of protein bands, the relative expression levels of CYP7A1 and CYP27A1 were determined by normalization to GAPDH. The data are shown as the means ± SEM, n = 7, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, using the two-tailed Student t-test.
