Influence of maternal consumption of aspartame and stevia on cecal microbiota in rat dams and their offspring. Principle coordinate analysis (PCoA) (A1, B1–B3) of rat cecal microbiota; litter effects in offspring (A2); shared metagenomic assembled genomes (A3) between 3-week-old offspring from the same litter (left) and from different litters (right); Dietary effects in dams (C1), 3-week-old offspring (C2), and 18-week-old offspring (C3). Each dot represents an individual cecal sample. Data with asterisk (*) represents a significant difference (p < 0.05). W3, week 3; W18, week 18; APM, aspartame; STV, stevia; WTR, water control.
