Experimental setup and fecal samples for establishment and assessment of the gene catalog of the gut microbiome in SD rats. Forty-nine SD rats were grouped into seven groups comprising a reference group (n = 7) fed a regular (low-fat) chow, a group of AIA rats treated with vehicle (n = 7), a group of AIA rats gavaged with L. casei (n = 7), a group of AIA rats gavaged with MTX (n = 7), a group of AIA rats gavaged with GJK (n = 7) or ZQFNT (n = 7),and a group of AIA rats fed a high-fat diet (D12492) (n = 7). Arthritis was induced by injection of CFA on day 0 after fecal sample collection; fecal samples were collected for five time points (TP) on day 0 (TP1), day 7 (TP2), day 14 (TP3), day 21 (TP4), and day 30 (TP5).
