Absorption of vitamin A was disturbed in a MetS model. (A) Orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) score plot for discriminating the intestine digesta metabolome from the ND, MED and HED groups (n=5). (B) Disturbed metabolic pathways in the ND versus MED and ND versus HED groups. (C) Heatmaps of the differential metabolites including eight vitamins that were altered through MED and HED feeding compared with ND feeding. (D) Comparison of the relative abundance of (a) vitamin E, (b) retinol, (c) retinene, (d) cholic acid, (e) glycocholic acid, (f) lithocholic acid and (g) tauroursodeoxycholic acid in the indicated groups. HED, high-energy diet; MED, medium-energy diet.
