Comparing effect of inulin and A. lappa intake on caecal SCFAs and feces microbiota in mice with HFD. Effect of several doses: HFD + 5.0% cellulose, 1.0% inulin, 2.5% inulin, 1.0% A. lappa, and 2.5% A. lappa on the intestinal microbiota. (A) SCFA component and lactic acid was measured from caecal contents by GC-FID. (B) Composition of the intestinal microbiota and α-diversity. (C) UniFrac principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) weighted intestinal microbiota. All data are represented as mean ± SEM (n = 5 for each group). * p < 0.05, evaluated using the one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test. + p < 0.05, evaluated using the one-way ANOVA with a Kruskal–Wallis test and Dunn’s post-hoc test.
