Fig. 8. COS treatment affected the abundance of intestinal bacterial flora and SCFAs.
a The relative abundances of norank_f_Muribaculaceae, Akkermansia, Desulfovibrio, Dubosiella, Enterococcus and Escherichia–Shigellaare shown (genus level). b, c The fecal levels of SCFAs (acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid and their sum) in the four groups of mice were measured by GC-MS, and the data are provided as the mean ± SEM (n = 6 per group). *means P < 0.05 **means P < 0.01 ***means P < 0.001 ns means P > 0.05.
