Figure 6.

Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content (µmol g⁻¹) (a) in feces from SD or WT mice (b) and comparison of immunoglobulin A (IgA) production (µg g⁻¹) vs. total SCFA content. SD and WT mice were treated at 12–14 weeks of age (WT mice; n = 9/each group, SD mice; n = 15/each group). Values represent means ± S.D. Data onto a bar graph are plotted in comparison to the controls for clarity; * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01; *** p ≤ 0.001. The correlation coefficient between the levels of SCFAs and IgA, r = 0.52, p 0.05. SD, Sandhoff disease; WT, wild-type.
