From: Changes in the faecal bile acid profile in dogs fed dry food vs high content of beef: a pilot study
Median concentrations with interquartile ranges of bile acids (BA) (µg/g faeces) in samples of eight dogs fed commercial dry food at the start and end of the study (CD1 and CD2) and high minced beef (HMB). Significant differences of faecal BA in diet periods CD1 vs HMB and CD2 vs HMB are indicated (Wilcoxon signed-rank test without correction for multiple comparison). CD1 Commercial dry food given the first 2 weeks of the study, CD2 commercial dry food given the last 2 weeks of the study, HMB high minced beef, CA cholic acid, CDCA chenodeoxycholic acid, DCA deoxycholic acid, LCA litocholic, UDCA ursodeoxycholic acid, Taurine-conj. BA (taurine-conjugated CA, CDCA, DCA, and LCA)
