Bile acid dysmetabolism in Bangladeshi infants associated with poor linear growth, enteric inflammation, and small intestine bacterial overgrowth

Figure 1 Percent distributions comparing the younger Bangladeshi infants' serum bile acids and C4 Levels to the American children are displayed with mean and standard deviation. Secondary bile acid derivatives include 7-Keto DCA, 7-Keto LCA, 3-Keto LCA, isoDCA, isoLCA, and allo isoLCA. Bangladeshi infants demonstrate a deficiency in primary bile acid conjugation as compared to American children with compensatory increase in hydrophilic primary sulfated bile acids. C4 is also increased.
