Effects of L. casei on predicted metabolic pathways in CIA rats. The predicted metabolic pathways in Control (A), CCFM1074 (B) and CCFM1075 (C) compared with CIA. control (vehicle-treated with saline 1.5 mL/day) group, CIA (vehicle-treated with saline 1.5 mL/day) group, methotrexate (MTX)-treated (6 mg/kg/week) group, CCFM1074 (treated with CCFM1074, 8.5 × 109 CFU/day) group and CCFM1075 (treated with CCFM1075, 8.5 × 109 CFU/day) group, eight rats per group. Significant differences were tested using Welch’s t test.
