Figure 1. Effects of microbiota on energy metabolism biomarkers in the GI tract and digestive tissues.

Figure 1

A, ATP levels in the stomach (S), small intestine (SI), proximal colon (PC), distal colon (DC), liver (L), and fat (F) (white adipose tissue) of CONV-R and GF mice. Five CONV-R and five GF mice were analyzed, and the results are mean ± standard error. Significant differences are indicated (*p<0.05). B, Western blot analysis of AMPKα phosphorylated at Thr172 (top panel) and total AMPKα (bottom panel) in different segments of the colon and small intestine from GF and CONV-R mice. Results are representative of 3 independent experiments.
