Improvement of glucose metabolism with decreased adipose tissue inflammation by BFT– modified gut microbiota is transferable. (A) OGTT of HFD-fed mice treated with or without BFT before (left) (15 weeks old) and after (right) antibiotic treatment for 3 weeks. (B) OGTT of the HFD-fed recipient mice performed before (triangle) (17 weeks old) and after (circle) (26 weeks old) bacterial transfer from mice treated with saline (left) or BFT for 2 weeks (right) (n = 8). (C) ITT of the HFD-fed recipient mice performed before (triangle) and after (circle) bacterial transfer from mice treated with saline (left) or BFT (right) (n = 8). (D) Cecum weight of recipient mice. (E) qPCR for inflammatory gene expressions in the epididymal adipose tissue of recipient mice (n = 8). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01, by unpaired, 2-tailed t test.
