Table 1

List of BA indices.

Composition	Hepatic metabolism	Hydrophilicity	CYP8B1 activity	Intestinal contribution
Concentration of individual BA	Total sulfated	Total mono-OH	Total 12α-OH	Total primary
% of individual BA	Total G-amidated	Total Di-OH	Total non-12α-OH	Total secondary
	Total T-amidated	Total tri-OH	12α-OH/non12α-OH	Primary/secondary
	% Sulfation	% mono-OH	CA/CDCA	% primary
	% Amidation	% di-OH	% 12α-OH	% secondary
