Fig. 5. Concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from cecal contents and the gene expression of G protein receptors (GPRs) by L. sakei WIKIM31.

(A) Content of SCFAs (total SCFAs, acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate) in cecum. (B) Gene expression of GPRs in ileum was determined by real-time RT-PCR. Data are presented as mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. HFD.
