The bacteria were streaked on modified MRS agar and added extra 0.5% (w/v) sodium salt of Tauro deoxycholic acid (TDCA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 0.37 g/L of calcium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 72 h. A halo zone around colonies was observed (indicating bile salt hydrolase activity existed).

The BSH activity of probiotic strains was based on the method described by Ayama et al. [11 ], Kumar et al. [23 (link)], and Pereira et al. [24 (link)]. The suspensions of probiotics were spotted on MRS agar plates supplemented with 0.5% w/v conjugated bile salt (glycocholic acid (GCA), taurocholic acid (TCA), and taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) from Fluka, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 0.37 g/L calcium chloride. The MRS agar plate without supplementation with bile salts was used as a control. The plates were anaerobically incubated at 37 °C for 24, 48, and 72 h. BSH activity was determined through precipitation zones around the colonies.

DIO-C57BL/6 mice animals that were on a HFD at 6 weeks of age for a duration of 12 weeks were then switched to a normal chow diet (NCD) and consecutive body weight was assessed.
Taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) (50mg/kg) and L-valine (200mg/kg) (both from Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were dissolved in water and simultaneously administered by intraperitoneal injection.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
