Figure 5

(a) Fasting blood glucose (Glu), triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (CHO) in conventional KK-Ay mice or pseudo germ-free KK-Ay mice (n = 6) treated with (or without) BBR for 14 days; U: plasma glucose; M: plasma triglyceride; L: plasma cholesterol. (b) Number of intestinal bacteria colonies (in log scale) on day 14 (n = 6). (c) Plasma concentration of BBR in KK-Ay mice treated or untreated with antibiotics; U: Cmax of BBR on day 14; L: folds of Cmax[BBR/(BBR+antibiotics)] on days 1, 3, 6, 10 and 14 post-BBR oral administration. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
