Relative mRNA expression of ARGs. a Between mouse experimental groups Control (n = 11 biologically independent samples), GWI (n = 11 biologically independent samples) and GWI_FMT (n = 6 biologically independent samples). b Between GW Veteran groups Hum_Control (n = 5 biologically independent samples) and Hum_GWI (n = 28 biologically independent samples). The mRNA expression was calculated as fold change against control (in Fig. 6a) and against Hum_Control (in Fig. 6b). Data are represented as mean ± SEM (SEM:Standard Error Mean). p-values were determined using by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post hoc test for GWI mice groups and GW Veteran groups where p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
