Fig. 6: Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) analyzed 6 weeks after irradiation using gas-liquid chromatography.

SCFAs such as acetate (A), propionate (B), butyrate (C), and valerate (D) were measured using gas-liquid chromatography. SCFA richness was quantified by counting the different SCFAs observed in each animal (E); n = 6 mice/group, except for n = 5 in the high-oat cntl group; *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001. Correlation analysis between crypt depth and butyrate at 6 weeks after irradiation (F).
