Figure 5. SDR exposure in control diet-fed mice alters the abundances of the major phyla.
Relative abundances of the top phyla were assessed in (A) control diet, (B) 6′SL, and (C) 3′SL fed mice. Bars represent means ± SEM. * indicates a significant difference between non-stressed and stressed animals within each bacterial phyla (p<0.05). Control diet: n=8 HCC Control, n=8 SDR Stressor. 6′SL: n= 7 HCC Control, n=7 SDR Stressor. 3′SL: n= 9 HCC Control, n=8 SDR Stressor.
