| Items | BD | FSMS | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acetic acid (mmol/L) | 59.59 ± 5.78 | 50.93 ± 11.03 | 0.170 |
| Propanoic acid (mmol/L) | 26.16 ± 1.74a | 19.38 ± 6.55b | 0.036 |
| Butyric acid (mmol/L) | 5.99 ± 0.84 | 4.37 ± 1.28 | 0.056 |
| Isobutyric acid (mmol/L) | 0.38 ± 0.17b | 1.95 ± 0.33a | 0.000 |
| Valeric acid (mmol/L) | 0.78 ± 0.12b | 1.34 ± 0.53a | 0.050 |
| Isovaleric acid (mmol/L) | 0.62 ± 0.13b | 2.58 ± 0.50a | 0.000 |
Values are means ± SEM (n = 6). Results were analyzed by the t-test, and the variant letter in the same row indicated a significant difference when P < 0.05.
