Figure 4

Effect of E. hallii treatment on short-chain fatty acids (SCFA’s) and bile acids. Male db/db mice (n=7–10 per group) were daily treated with active or heat-inactivated E. hallii (108 CFU) for 4 weeks. Figures depict (a) faecal SCFA levels, (b) plasma primary and secondary bile acids and plasma bile acid composition, (c) faecal primary and secondary bile acids and plasma bile acid composition, (d) hepatic and (e) intestinal (duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon) expression of genes involved in bile acid metabolism and transport. Data are mean±s.d. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test *P<0.05; **P<0.01.
