Serum bile acid concentrations in extreme weight loss responders to RYGB surgery. Principal component analyses of serum bile acid levels in good and bad responders (A,B) after RYGB surgery. Significance calculated by PERMANOVA (C) shows total unconjugated and conjugated fasting bile acid concentrations in good and bad responder groups which were further divided into primary and secondary bile acid species (D). Individual fasting bile acid concentrations shown in (E,F). Data shown as mean ± SEM. Group comparisons were performed with Student’s t-test. The symbol * indicates a p-value ≤ 0.05.
