Administration of each short chain fatty acid (SCFA) changed the phase of peripheral PER2::LUC rhythms in antibiotic-induced microbiota depleted mice. (A) Similar to Fig. 1A, antibiotic-induced microbiota depleted mice were orally gavaged with each SCFA (400 or 1600 mM) at ZT5 for three consecutive days, and then we measured peripheral PER2::LUC every 4 hours for 24 hours starting at ZT7 after the last injection. (B) Peak phase difference compared to the peak of the vehicle only treatment is shown. The value of peak change of the vehicle-gavaged group was set as 0. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM. The number of mice used in this study is indicated in Table S1. *p < 0.05 vs. vehicle only treatment (t-test or Mann Whitney test).
