Extended Data Fig. 3: Bile acid concentrations in cecal contents of mice post-sham or post-SG.The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI.

Six weeks following surgery, cecal contents were collected from sham or SG mice after an overnight fast. Bile acids were quantified using UPLC-MS (sham, n = 12, SG, n = 15, data not marked with asterisk(s) are not significant). All bile acids with measurable concentrations above the limit of detection are shown. Tα/βMCA, tauro-alpha- and tauro-beta-muricholic acid, p = 0.53; TCA, tauro-cholic acid, p = 0.32; TγMCA, tauro-gamma-muricholic acid, p = 0.36; TωMCA, tauro-omega-muricholic acid, p = 0.68; TUDCA, tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid, p = 0.67; 7-oxo-TCDCA, 7-oxo-tauro-chenodeoxycholic acid p = 0.34; αMCA, alpha-muricholic acid, p = 0.87; βMCA, beta-muricholic acid, p = 0.59; CA, cholic acid, p = 0.28; UDCA, ursodeoxycholic acid, p = 0.85; DCA, deoxycholic acid, p = 0.48; LCA, lithocholic acid, *p = 0.02; isoLCA, isolithocholic acid *p = 0.02; 3-oxo-CA, 3-oxo-cholic acid, p = 0.08; 3-oxo-LCA, 3-oxo-lithocholic acid, p = 0.79; CDCA, chenodeoxycholic acid, *p = 0.03, two-tailed Welch’s t-test. All data are presented as mean ± SEM.
