Strain-dependent induction of primary bile acid 7-dehydroxylation by cholic acid
Abstract Background Bile acids (BAs) are steroid-derived molecules with important roles in digestion, the maintenance of host metabolism, and immunomodulation. Primary BAs are synthesized by the host, while secondary BAs are produced by the gut microbiome through transformation of the former. The re...
