Resistant starches restored the cecal bile acid profiles of germ-free (GF) and conventionalized (CVZ) C3H mice fed experimental diets for 8 weeks. Mean bile acid concentration for each dietary treatment (nmol/g of cecal content). Only bile acids with mean concentrations above 1 nmol/g for at least one experimental treatment are shown. LFD low-fat diet, WD Western diet, RS2 WD with resistant starch 2, RS4 WD with resistant starch 4, CA cholic acid, CDCA chenodeoxycholic acid, MCA muricholic acid, HCA hyocholic acid, MuroCA murocholic acid, ACA allocholic acid, LCA lithocholic acid, DCA deoxycholic acid, HDCA hyodeoxycholic acid, ILCA isolitocholic acid, UDCA ursodeoxycholic acid, K keto derivative, T taurine-conjugated species. Complete abbreviation list is available in the supplemental materials and methods. °p < 0.05 versus WD fed mice of the same microbial status (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc tests after normalization by log-transformation when needed). N = 7–8
