CQA administration increased fecal propionate level in DIO mice. a Metabolic pathway for acetate and propionate and corresponding KEGG Orthology (KO) and genes. b Fecal KEGG orthology (KO) expression of CQA-treated mice. c Fecal KO expression of L. reuteri + CQA-treated mice. d KO expression of CQA-treated L. reuteri in anaerobic cultivation. e Levels of acetate, propionate, butyrate, and lactate analyzed in feces after CQA-treatment. f Level of propionate analyzed in feces after FMT treatment. g Levels of acetate, propionate, and butyrate analyzed in feces in microbiota-reduced mice. h Level of propionate analyzed in cecum contents after L. reuteri + CQA co-treatment. i Level of propionate analyzed in supernatant of L. reuteri after co-cultured with CQA. b, c, f–h n = 7–8/group. d, i n = 3/group. e n = 6–8/group. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; and ***p < 0.001. ns means not statistically significant
