DCA and butyrate supplements have effects on defecation frequency (A), fecal water content (B), length of fecal pellets (C), and colonic contractility (D: tension; E: Frequency) of mice receiving fecal microbiota from STC donors (DCA mice = 6, Butyrate mice = 6). Data represent the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. Group N: mice receiving fecal microbiota from healthy donor; Group C: mice receiving fecal microbiota from STC donors; Group DCA: mice receiving fecal microbiota from STC donors were treated with DCA; Group butyrate: mice receiving fecal microbiota from STC donors were treated with butyrate.
