Fecal bacterial composition in mice at bacterial family level at Day 2, 5 and 12 after emulsion consumption, as assessed by Principal Component Analysis. (A) Score plot, (B) Loading plot, (C and D) Differences between days by PC #1 (C) and PC #2 (D) calculated by a repeated measures one-way ANOVA using a Tukey’s test as post-test. Differences between groups were calculated using an unpaired t-test with Welch correction. Colors refer to the three different lipid emulsions: MPL/CO (blue), MPL/RO (green) and SL/RO (red). Color intensity increases with number of days. On the loading plot (B), samples are distributed by the PC #1 (32.104%) and PC #2 (13.932%). Asterisks indicate significant differences (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). PC: Principal Component, ANOVA: Analysis of variance, MPL, Milk phospholipids, CO: Coconut oil, RO, Rapeseed oil; SL: Soy lecithin.
