A Structure of the six dietary polysaccharides used. B Timeline of the experiment. The mice were fed a normal diet or a diet containing the different polysaccharides (n = 10) for 18 weeks. The time and type of samples collected, and measurements performed are indicated. C Nutrient composition of each diet. Detailed nutritional information is provided in Supplementary Table 2. D Weekly changes in body weight per mouse (mean ± SD); organ index for the spleen, kidneys, and liver (mean ± SEM); and the weight of the caecum (mean ± SEM). Significance (P < 0.05) was determined using Duncan’s test (n = 10).
