Fig. 2: Butyrate synthesis significantly increased in racehorses’ guts compared to non-racehorses’ guts.

From: Multiomic analysis of different horse breeds reveals that gut microbial butyrate enhances racehorse athletic performance

Fig. 2

A Bar graph showing the levels of transcripts encoding critical enzymes for butyrate synthesis, according to the metatranscriptomic analysis of horse faeces. The enzymes here are the same as those shown in Fig. 1E. B Pod plots of SCFA concentrations in the faeces of racehorses and non-racehorses analysed by targeted metabolomics. Numbers in parentheses indicate the fold change in the content of the corresponding SCFA in the intestines of racehorses relative to non-racehorses.
