Beneficial phenotype induced by synbiotics is not transferred by microbiota transplant in early adulthood. A, Schematic overview of Study. Six‐weeks‐old germ‐free (GF) mice maintained on standard diet were transplanted with cecal contents collected from CTRL or SYN mice at PN42. Both transplanted groups (ie,. tCTRL and tSYN) were challenged by Western‐style diet until PN98. Body weight (B), fat mass (C) and lean body mass (D) in tCTRL (n = 8) and tSYN (n = 9) groups of mice at PN42, PN70 and PN98. Data are given as mean ± SEM. Repeated‐measures two‐way ANOVA, followed by Sidak's multiple comparisons test
