Quantification of total bacterial-universal 16S rRNA gene copies and proportion of bacterial order in cecal samples from LF, DIO-R, and DIO-P after 8 wk on respective diets. A: no significant difference in total bacterial 16S copies in LF, DIO-R, and DIO-P (LF vs. DIO-R, P = 0.3, LF vs. DIO-P, P = 0.1, DIO-R vs. DIO-P, P = 0.5); however, there was a significant decrease in total bacterial 16S copies in HF- vs. LF-fed rats (P < 0.05). B: Bacteroidales order as a relative percentage of total bacteria in cecal samples from rats after 8 wk on respective diets; there was no significant difference between LF, DIO-R, and DIO-P but a significant decrease in HF- vs. LF-fed rats (P < 0.01). C: Clostridiales order as a percentage of total bacteria in cecal samples from LF, DIO-R, and DIO-P after 8 wk on respective diets. DIO-R and DIO-P animals showed a significant increase in Clostridiales order compared with LF rats (DIO-R vs. LF, P < 0.05, DIO-P vs. LF, P < 0.01). There were no differences between DIO-R and DIO-P (P = 0.3), and there was a significant increase in Clostridiales order in HF vs. LF. rats (P < 0.001). D: Enterobacteriales order as a percentage of total bacteria in cecal samples from LF, DIO-R, and DIO-P after 8 wk on respective diets showing a significant increase in HF-fed DIO-P rats only (DIO-P vs. LF or DIO-R, P < 0.05).
