AR and sarcopenia: Despite alterations in BA composition in stool and serum, we could not observe any significant differences in bile salt hydrolase (BSH), BA inducer CD and E (baiCD and E), 3 alpha‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3α‐HSDH), 3 beta‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3β‐HSDH), 5‐alpha reductase (5 AR), 7 alpha‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (7α‐HSDH), 7 beta‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (7β‐HSDH) and 12 alpha‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (12α‐HSDH) gene abundances between cirrhotic patients with and without sarcopenia (P > 0.05; TableS6).
