1Dietary oil treatments are Canola, conventional canola oil; CanolaDHA, high oleic canola oil with DHA (85:15); CanolaOleic, high oleic canola oil; CornSaff, corn oil and safflower oil blend (25:75); FlaxSaff, flax oil and safflower oil blend (60:40). 2Means for each phylum under five treatments are individually reported. The Mean and SEM are also reported across five treatments. 3P-values adjusted by Tukey are significantly different at P < 0.05. 4The contrast of different treatment groups or comparison between selected treatment groups. MUFA/PUFA is the contrast of the combination of Canola, CanolaDHA, and CanolaOleic compared to the combination of FlaxSaff and CornSaff. CanolaDHA/CanolaOleic is the comparison between CanolaDHA and CanolaOleic. CornSaff/FlaxSaff is the comparison between CornSaff and FlaxSaff. P-values adjusted by Tukey are significantly different at P < 0.05. ∗Percentage of sequences below 0.1.
