Table 1. Effect of dietary RMD on total SCFAs and pH in cecal contents.
Control | 5% | 7.5% | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Total SCFAs (mg/cecum) | 0.50 ± 0.12 | 1.22 ± 0.53* | 1.67 ± 0.33* | <0.01 |
pH | 7.77 ± 0.05 | 7.05 ± 0.18* | 6.77 ± 0.20* | <0.01 |
BALB/c mice were fed diet containing 5% or 7.5% RMD for 2 weeks. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n=6). *Significant difference from the control group (p<0.05)
