Fecal short chain fatty acids were measured in male mice fed Co, HBG, or LBG diets for 12 weeks (A). Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes ratio (B), and Actinobacteria (C) in feces were measured by quantitative real-time PCR for Co, HBG, or LBG diets for 2 weeks. Values are means ± S.E.M. n = 4–8. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01, and ***, P < 0.001, compared with Co. Co (Tukey-Kramer test), control; HBG, β-glucan rich barley; LBG, general barley.
