Fig. 1From: Orally administered Odoribacter laneus improves glucose control and inflammatory profile in obese mice by depleting circulating succinateGut microbiota and dietary regimen regulate intestinal and circulating succinate levels. Succinate levels in the cecum (a), colon (b), and serum (c) of conventional C57BL/6 (CVN) and germ-free (GF) mice (n = 16–19: males = 9–10; females = 7–9). Circulating succinate determination after intra-colon administration of 500 mg/kg of disodium succinate (or saline as vehicle) in C57BL/6 wild-type mice fed with chow diet (CD) (n = 4) (d). Succinate levels in the cecum (e), feces (f), and serum (g) of C57BL/6 mice fed high-fat diet (HFD) or CD (n = 10). Data are expressed as mean + s.e.m (a–d,f) or % over control (e). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (unpaired t-test and two-way ANOVA)Back to article page
