Effects of SWT on BA-biotransforming bacteria and serum BAs profiling. A Relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, Mycoplasmataceae, Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group, Bacteroidaceae, [Clostridium]_innocuum_group and Prevotellaceae_UCG-003. B The process flow diagram of BSH activity assay (left panel) and the level of BSH in intestinal contents (right panel). C Changes in bile acid composition. D The relative abundance (%) of the top 16 BAs. The serum levels of E TDCA, UDCA, F CA, CDCA, DCA and T-β-MCA. Statistical significance: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared with control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, compared with CCl4 group. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc tests (n = 8)
