Fig. 6. Transmissibility of adiposity from humanized mice to germ-free recipients.

Fig. 6

(A) The effects of Western and LF/PP diets on epididymal fat pad weight (expressed as a percentage of total body weight) in humanized gnotobiotic mice (N=5–8 mice/group; N=2 independent groups). (B) Percent increase in total body fat (measured by DEXA) after colonization of germ-free mice with a microbiota harvested from humanized donors fed the Western or the LF/PP diet (N=4–5 mice/group). Recipients were fed a LF/PP diet. Mean values±SEM are plotted (*P<0.05, Student’s t-test).
