Plasma BAs along Primary BA pathway. Patients with non-neoplastic polyps demonstrate significantly decreased a conjugated cholate and b total conjugated primary BAs. Patients with cholecystolithiasis demonstrate significantly increased proportions of conjugated to unconjugated c cholate (CA) and e primary BAs. d cholecystolithiasis and non-neoplastic polyps did not show a significantly higher median ratio for conjugated to unconjugated CDCA. f Significantly increased ratio of total primary cholate (CA) to chenodeoxycholate (CDCA) in non-neoplastic polyps compared to cholecystolithiasis (the data of cdef graph is processed by ‘log10’ to get the ratio. x < 1, log10(x) < 0)
