Body weight and metabolic alterations upon CR and gut microbiota depletion. (A) Body weight curves of the mice (n = 9–10 per group). **p < 0.01 between CR and AB + CR groups, #p < 0.05 and ###p < 0.001 between CTRL and AB groups. (B) Food intake (n = 9–10 per group). *p < 0.05 between AB and CTRL groups. (C,D) Quantification of body fat mass (C) and lean mass (D) by MRI scans (n = 9–10 per group). (EH) Analyses with metabolic chamber to quantitate O2 consumption (E), CO2 production (F), respiratory exchange ratio (RER) (G) and energy expenditure (EE) (H) (n = 4 for each group). Data are expressed as means ± s.e.m.
