Fig. 9: MP increases the content of short-chain fatty acids.

A Acetic acid, B Propionic acid, C Isobutyric acid, D Butyric acid, E Isovaleric acid, and F Valeric acid. G Spearman’s correlations heatmap between bacterial genus and short-chain fatty acids. Each column of data marked with a different letter represents a significant difference (p < 0.05); Different colors of squares represent different r-values of Spearman’s correlation. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
