Fig. 6: Cecum and serum metabolites altered by narasin treatment.
From: Growth promotion and antibiotic induced metabolic shifts in the chicken gut microbiome
a) The median-normalized ion counts (scaled intensity) of 20 amino acids in the cecum of control and narasin treated birds. *Welch’s t p-value < 0.05, n = 15 birds per treatment. b) The scaled intensity of uric acid in the cecum and serum of control and narasin treated birds. c) The scaled intensity of urea in the serum control and narasin treated birds. The boxes in a, b, and c represent the median and interquartile range; whiskers indicate the range of the distribution excluding outliers. d) The correlation between the abundance of dipeptides and amino acids in the cecum and bird weight at day 35 for control and narasin treated birds. Dashed red lines represent the correlation threshold for p-values < 0.05. e) The correlation between the abundance of amino acids in the serum and bird weight at day 35 for control and narasin treated birds. In panels d and e, the x-axis values show the Pearson correlation coefficient between the logarithm of the scaled intensities and weight.
