a Colored contour plots show staining for IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17A within CD4+ cells. b Bar charts show the percentage of IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17A expressing CD4+ T cells. c Colored contour plots show staining for IFN-γ, TNF-α, and Foxp3 within CD4+ cells. d Bar charts show the percentage of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and Foxp3-expressing CD4+ T cells. e SCFA concentration in mice with ST1-altered gut microbiota and control donor. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. Significance was determined by two-sided unpaired Student’s t test (ns non-significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
