High fibre diets facilitated refeeding-induced phase resetting of peripheral PER2::LUC rhythms. (A) Experimental schedule. Control: Ad libitum feeding of low fibre diets. Fasting: Mice were fasted overnight. 1 day or 2 days refeeding: Mice were fasted from ZT12 and refed low or high fibre diets (1 g) at ZT4 for 1 day or 2 days. Peripheral PER2::LUC was monitored every 4 hours for 24 hours beginning at ZT7 after refeeding. (B,C) Caecal pH and SCFA content at 4 hours after refeeding of low or high fibre diets in overnight fasted mice (n = 6 for each, except n = 10 for pH of fasting group). (D,E) Averaged PER2::LUC rhythms in each condition. (F) Peak phase changes of PER2::LUC rhythm compared with the peak of the control group. The value of the peak phase of the control was set as 0. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM. The number of mice used in this study is indicated in Table S1. More detail on the statistics used is included in Table S2. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, vs. vehicle or low fibre treatments (t-test or Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). P value of the two-way ANOVA is indicated in the lower right side of each graph if significant.
