FIG. 1.

Plasma and stool bile acid profile comparison in each disease group. (A) Boxplots of total primary and secondary plasma bile acids; the y‐axis labels are displayed on the original scale even though the data are log₁₀ transformed. (B) Proportion of total primary and secondary plasma bile acids. (C) Boxplot of 7‐HOCA in plasma; the x‐axis labels are displayed on the original scale even though the data are log₁₀ transformed. (D) Boxplots of total primary and secondary stool bile acids; the y‐axis labels are displayed on the original scale even though the data are log₁₀ transformed. (E ) Proportion of total primary and secondary stool bile acids. (F) Boxplots of total conjugated and unconjugated plasma bile acids; the y‐axis labels are displayed on the original scale even though the data are log₁₀ transformed. (G) Proportion of total conjugated and unconjugated plasma bile acids. (H) Boxplots of total conjugated and unconjugated stool bile acids; the y‐axis labels are displayed on the original scale even though the data are log₁₀ transformed. (I) Proportion of total conjugated and unconjugated stool bile acids. Horizontal segment endpoints in each plot represent the significant results for comparison between groups used in the two sample t test (e.g., between HDC and SAH); *P ≤ 0.1; **P ≤ 0.05; ***P ≤ 0.001.
