Fig. 5.

The metabolic profile of plasma. Score plots of the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) for the plasma metabolome (a) showing the scatter between the control and low-dose groups. (b) Scatter between the control and high-dose groups. (c) The integrative metabolism pathway according to the KEGG pathway database. Compared with the control group, the blue metabolites represent the intensities of metabolites that were downregulated, while the red metabolites represent the intensities of metabolites that were upregulated. (d-h) The perturbed metabolism pathways and metabolites in response to P. pentosaceus SMM914 treatment mainly include glutathione metabolism; cysteine and methionine metabolism; glycine, serine and threonine metabolism; arginine and proline metabolism; steroid hormone biosynthesis and primary bile acid biosynthesis. Data are the mean ± s.e.m, n = 7
