  1. NHC normal healthy control, NCLD noncirrhotic liver disease, CLD cirrhotic liver diseases, HCC hepatocellular carcinoma. N = 50, number of each group, values: mean ± standard deviation of bile acids (μM/L); F, fold changes relative to NHC. *P value < 0.05 indicates significance when NHC compared to either NCLD, CLD, or HCC. NSP value > 0.05 indicates significance when NHC compared to either NCLD, CLD, or HCC
