Fecal gene numbers of Bacteroides/Prevotella spp. in PACAP-deficient and wildtype mice over time. Individual intestinal loads of Bacteroides/Prevotella spp. were quantitatively assessed in fecal samples derived from (A) wildtype (WT, closed circles) and (B) pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide-deficient (PACAP–/–, open circles) mice at defined time points postpartum (as indicated on the x axis; wk: weeks; mo: months) by qRT-PCR and expressed as 16S rRNA gene numbers per nanogram DNA. Medians, numbers of analyzed animals (in parentheses), and significance levels (p values) determined by Mann–Whitney U test are indicated
