From: Dietary fibers inhibit obesity in mice, but host responses in the cecum and liver appear unrelated to fiber-specific changes in cecal bacterial taxonomic composition

Figure 6

Gene expression of SAA1 and SAA2 relative to high fat (HFD) fed mice in cecum and liver in mice fed a HFD where 10% of the carbohydrate by weight (5% corn starch, 5% cellulose) was replaced by beta glucan (HFD + bglucan), apple pectin (HFD + pectin), inulin (HFD + inulin), inulin acetate ester (HFD + inul A), inulin propionate ester (HFD + inul P), inulin butyrate ester (HFD + inul B), inulin propionate and butyrate ester, 5% each (HFD + PB) and low fat diet (LFD). Gene expression was calculated relative to HFD fed mice using mean gene target normalised to UBE2D2 (n = 5–6). A Student’s ttest was applied to test comparisons with HFD fed mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
