Figure 5. The effect of L. johnsonii CCFM1376 on the bile acid composition in the enterohepatic circulation of hypercholesterolemic mice. (A) Unconjugated bile acid composition in the liver; (B) Total bile acid in the liver; (C) bile acid proportion in the liver; (D) unconjugated bile acid composition in the serum; (E) Total bile acid in the serum; (F) bile acid proportion in the serum; (G) unconjugated bile acid composition in the ileum; (H) Total bile acid in the ileum; (I) bile acid proportion in the ileum; (J) unconjugated bile acid composition in the feces; (K) Total bile acid in the feces; (L) bile acid proportion in the feces. Groups with the same lowercase letter did not exhibit significant differences, whereas those with different letters indicated significant differences (P < 0.05).
