| SCFAs | Sedentary | Exercise | OLP-01 | Exercise + OLP-01 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| acetic acid | 3.12 ± 0.34 a | 3.75± 0.54 a,b | 3.18 ± 0.41 a | 4.22 ± 0.39 b |
| propionic acid | 0.49 ± 0.08 a | 0.54± 0.07 a | 0.52 ± 0.08 a | 0.71 ± 0.11 b |
| isobutyric acid | 0.02 ± 0.003 a | 0.02 ± 0.004 a | 0.02 ± 0.006 a | 0.03 ± 0.006 a |
| butyric acid | 0.53 ± 0.15 a | 0.85 ± 0.28 b, c | 0.59 ± 0.24 a,b | 1.16 ± 0.18 c |
| valeric acid | 0.053 ± 0.02 | 0.029 ± 0.01 | 0.025 ± 0.02 | 0.048 ± 0.02 |
Data are expressed as the mean ± SD in each group. Values in the same row with different superscript letters (a, b, c) differed significantly at p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA. The unit of indicated SCFAs is mM.
