Physiological parameters and nest building capability in 5xFAD mice after FMT. (a) Abdominal fat was isolated and weighed after dissection (n = 11 per group; “young”: 5xFAD treated with cecal material from young wt mice; “old”: 5xFAD treated with cecal material from old wt mice). (b) LBP was quantified from serum samples (n = 11 per group). (c) Body temperature was assessed directly before sacrifice using an infrared thermometer (n = 8 for young and 10 for old; temperature was only taken into account if the animals were not defecating or urinating during measurement procedure). (d) Nest quality was scored, and material not integrated in the nest weighed (e) (n = 20 per group, 10 female). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (*, p < 0.05).
