SCFAs supplement enhanced endurance capacity by promoting mitochondrial synthesis. (A) Body weight was measured once a week. (B) Time to exhaustion was recorded. After exhaustion, CK (C), BUN (D), and lactic acid (E) were measured immediately. RT-PCR analysis of mitochondrial biogenesis gene expression (F) and mtDNA content (G) in gastrocnemius. Representative TEM images (H) and quantification (I) of mitochondria in gastrocnemius muscle at original magnification of ×12,000. Data are presented as means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (One way ANOVA).
