1. (A) Faecal bile acid content at weeks 0, 2 and 8 for recipients and donors at baseline for isolithocholic acid, lithocholic acid and deoxycholic acid.
(A) Faecal bile acid content at weeks 0, 2 and 8 for recipients and donors at baseline for isolithocholic acid, lithocholic acid and deoxycholic acid. (B) Serum bile acid content for lithocholic acid, deoxycholic acid, taurolithocholic acid, glycolithocholic acid, hyocholic acid and total bile acids. Bile acids that were not significantly affected in serum are shown in online supplementary figure S3. Data are presented as median±IQR in µmol/g dry faeces. Individual points represent individual subjects. For comparison between the groups, a Student’s t-test was used if the bile acid was normally distributed. If not, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used. All p values <0.1 are reported in the figures. METS-D, metabolic syndrome donor; METS-R, metabolic syndrome recipient; RYGB-D, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass donor; RYGB-R, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass recipient.
