Effect of 3-week feeding of dietary inulin and probiotic, Bb12, on the relative peak height and proportion of different classes of fecal bile acids and cholesterol sulfate of young mice^a.

aValues presented are means±SD. The absolute peak height of m/z 407 was 106±0 mm for all four groups. bPeak height of m/z 496 relative to the peak height of m/z 407. cSum of peak height of m/z 375, 389, 391, 405, 407, 423 relative to the peak height of m/z 407. dSum of peak height of m/z 471, 485, 487, 493, 507, 509 relative to the peak height of m/z 407. eSum of peak height of taurine conjugate, unconjugated and sulfate conjugates (1+2+3) relative to the peak height of m/z 407. fPeak height of m/z 465 relative to the peak height of m/z 407. gValue of Taurine conjugate divided by Total bile acids. hFecal taurine conjugates in the two groups with dietary inulin was significantly less (p<0.05) than that in the two groups without dietary inulin by Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test. iValue of Sulfate conjugates divided by Total bile acids. jSignificantly (p<0.05) more sulfate conjugates than taurine conjugates in the feces by Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test. kValue of Cholesterol sulfate divided by Total bile acids.
