Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) induce recovery of neuronal loss caused by antibiotic (Abx) treatment. a The number of HuC/D+ neurons in the submucosal (left panel) and myenteric plexus (middle panel) in whole-mount preparation of ileum. The number of nNOS+ neurons in the myenteric plexus (right panel) in the ileum. b Number of HuC/D+ neurons in the submucosal (left panel) and myenteric plexus (middle panel) in whole-mount preparations of the colon. Number of nNOS+ neurons in the myenteric plexus (right panel) in the colon. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 4–5; 10 ganglia counted per mouse. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test
