Acetate, butyrate, formate, and propionate concentrations were measured in nanomoles per milligram and determined from cecal contents collected from C57BL/6 male mice after 8 wk on dietary interventions. Values are mean ± SD, n = 8–9 per group. Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn multiple comparison were used for analysis. *Acetate differed, DF vs. HF (P = 0.002); **propionate differed, DF vs. HF (P = 0.006), TRF (P = 0.02). ADF, alternate-day fasting; CR, caloric-restricted; DF, Daniel Fast; HF, high-fat diet; TRF, time-restricted feeding.
