A-C Effects of dietary NZnOC supplementation on BA content analysis. A Primary BA content, (B) Secondary BA content, (C) Spearman correlation analysis between secondary BA synthesis bacterial genera and secondary BA content. Means ± SD, n = 5. Values with different *asterisks indicate signifificant (P < 0.05). The positive correlation (closer to 1) for red and the negative correlation (closer to − 1) for blue. CON, control; NZnOC, carbon loaded with nano-ZnO; TCA, taurocholic acid; TCDCA, taurochenodeoxycholic acid; GCDCA, glycochenodeoxycholic acid; CA, cholic acid; GCA, glycocholic acid; ACA, allocholic acid; TDCA, taurodeoxycholate acid; DCA, deoxycholic acid; TLCA, taurolithocholic acid; β-MCA, beta-muricholic acid; 12-KLCA, 12-ketolithocholic acid; apoCA, apocholic acid; UDCA, ursodeoxycholic acid; LCA, lithocholic acid; isoLCA, isolithocholic acid; DHLCA, dehydrolithocholic acid; GDCA, glycodeoxycholic acid. *p < 0.05
