Figure 2

Bile constituents as a function of hibernation state. A) Bile acid concentrations in bile as a function of state. Values represent means ± SE from T (n = 3), IBA (n = 3), SA (n = 3), and AB squirrels (n = 4). AB was significantly lower than all other states (ANOVA, p < 0.05). When different, letters above error bars denote significant differences. B) Bilirubin concentration in bile as a function of state. Values represent means ± SE from T (n = 3), IBA (n = 3), SA (n = 5), and AB squirrels (n = 4). There were no significant differences between T and IBA or between SA and AB. All other values are significantly different (ANOVA, p < 0.05). C) Bile cholesterol concentration as a function of state. Values represent means ± SE from T (n = 3), IBA (n = 3), SA (n = 13), and AB squirrels (n = 4). There were no significant differences (ANOVA, p > 0.05). D) Free fatty acid concentrations in bile as a function of state. Values depicted are from each individual animal (means ± SE) to demonstrate individual variation and represent T (n = 3), IBA (n = 3), SA (n = 3), and AB squirrels (n = 4). There were no significant differences (ANOVA, p > 0.05).
