Fig. 10: FMT changed the fat metabolism in abdominal fat and liver of chickens.
From: Chicken cecal microbiota reduces abdominal fat deposition by regulating fat metabolism
The comparison of fat metabolism levels in the chicken abdominal fat and liver between the control and the L-FMT groups. a The comparison of relative mRNA expression of fat synthesis related genes and fat catabolism related genes in abdominal fat (q-PCR). b The comparison of relative mRNA expression of fat synthesis related genes, fat transport related genes, and fat catabolism related genes in the liver (q-PCR). c The protein distribution and the expression levels of JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT3, and p-STAT3 in the liver (IHC). Scale bars = 50 μm. Con represents the control group (n = 14), and L-FMT represents the fecal microbiota transplantation group from the low abdominal fat deposition chicken (n = 14). Statistical significance between groups was determined by unpaired Student’s t tests. All data were presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
