mortality/aging
• mice fed a 0.03% cholic acid-supplemented diet directly from weaning die within a week after the start of the diet
• however, mice fed a 0.03% cholic acid-supplemented diet starting at 4 weeks of age for 4 weeks survive

growth/size/body
• mice fail to gain weight and even lose weight after starting of 0.03% cholic acid-supplemented diet at 4 weeks of age
• liver weights are increased in mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age
• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age do not exhibit fibrosis in the liver

homeostasis/metabolism
• after 4 weeks of cholic acid-supplemented diet started at 4 weeks of age, mice exhibit enhanced plasma bilirubin levels
• after 4 weeks of cholic acid-supplemented diet started at 4 weeks of age, mice exhibit a mild elevation in plasma alanine transaminase levels
• after 4 weeks of cholic acid-supplemented diet started at 4 weeks of age, mice exhibit a mild elevation in plasma alkaline phosphatase levels
• after 4 weeks on a cholic acid-supplemented diet, plasma bile salts predominantly consist of about 90% taurocholate (TC) and about 7% tauro-beta-muricholate (TbetaMC) and a low concentration of about 0.4% of the secondary bile salt taurochenodeoxycholate (TDC) is seen compared to about 70% TC and 20% TbetaMC in single Atp8b1 homozygotes
• after 4 weeks on a cholic acid-supplemented diet, biliary bile salts predominantly consist of about 90% TC and about 9% TbetaMC compared to 55% TC and 40% TbetaMC in single Atp8b1 homozygotes
• after 4 weeks on a cholic acid-supplemented diet, bile salt hydrophobicity index of plasma is elevated but the hydrophobicity index of bile is unaltered, indicating that the plasma bile salt pool is more hydrophobic
• after 4 weeks of cholic acid-supplemented diet started at 4 weeks of age, mice exhibit a strong elevation in plasma bile salt levels

liver/biliary system
• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age, exhibit a slight increase in bile duct proliferation
• liver weights are increased in mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age
• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age do not exhibit fibrosis in the liver
• after 4 weeks of cholic acid-supplemented diet started at 4 weeks of age, bile flow is strongly (about 3-fold) reduced
• mice, however show normal bile salt output when fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age
• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age develop a severe cholestatic phenotype with mild liver damage

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice fed a cholic acid-supplemented diet for 4 weeks starting at 4 weeks of age, exhibit a slight increase in bile duct proliferation
