TABLE 2.
The metabolic phenotype indexes in indicated gnotobiotic animals.
| Microbiota | BMR (kcal/hr) | Diet (g) | Distance | Activity (%) |
| Germ Free | 0.463 ± 0.014a | 2.35 ± 0.11 | 1011 ± 062a | 17.3 ± 1.1a |
| E. rectale | 0.467 ± 0.009a | 2.79 ± 0.31 | 2166 ± 158b | 26.7 ± 1.8b |
| L. plantarum | 0.531 ± 0.011b | 2.38 ± 0.08 | 1579 ± 192b | 27.0 ± 3.4b |
| C. coccoides | 0.522 ± 0.007b | 2.40 ± 0.10 | 1527 ± 086b | 26.2 ± 0.8b |
Values in the same column with different superscript letters (a,b) differ significantly, p < 0.05, by one-way ANOVA. BMR, basal metabolic rate; Distance, wheel running (m/12 h).
