GPR: G protein-coupled receptor; FC: fold change. ^ Data are nonparametric, presented as median [quartile 1, quartile 3], within-group changes analyzed by Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-rank test and group comparison performed using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Difference in change from 0 to 4 h within group. * Difference in fold change between the soluble fibre and control group.
