  1. UDCA group: UDCA, GUDCA, TUDCA. CA group: CA, GCA, TCA. CDCA group: CDCA, GCDCA, TCDCA. DCA group: DCA, GDCA, TDCA. LCA group: LCA, GLCA, TLCA. Data shown as mean CV (SD). The CV of each bile acid over the five samples was calculated for each subject and a paired t-test was conducted on the nine pairs of CVs. P values adjusted for 21 multicomparisons.
