A) Plasma cysteine (reduced) (abbreviated as Cys (red)), methionine (Met), glutathione and taurine levels measured by metabolomics (n = 8/group, mean ± SEM). B) qPCR gene expression of enzymes converting methionine to cysteine (CTH) and cysteine to glutathione (GSS, GCLC, GCLM) normalized by normal cys (n = 8/group, mean ± SEM). C) Bile acid concentrations measured in bile (n = 5/normal cys; n = 4/low cys, mean ± SEM). D) Excreted bile acids per 24h (right), measured in feces (n = 8/group, mean ± SEM).
