Early HMOS dietary intervention increases production of SCFAs in the fecal samples which are correlated to severity of insulitis. (A) Concentrations of total SCFAs (sum of acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid), (B) acetic acid, (C) propionic acid, and (D) butyric acid shown as in total or diabetic (Dia) and Non-diabetic (Non-dia) of control and HMOS group, fecal samples were collected from Wk9. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 17–20/ group. Statistical differences between groups are depicted as *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01using Mann-Whitney U-test. (E) and (F) Significant correlations between acetic acid and butyric acid with insulitis score, Spearman correlation analysis was used, r- and p-value included respectively.
