Box Plot from Scientific Research

Phenotypic parameters at short term: weight, bowel wall thickness, colon AB + or PAS. + goblet cell percentages and representative pictures for AB staining, butyrate/acetate ratio, propionate and isobutyrate concentration on caecum contents. Groups: ex-GF mice colonized with vaginal-delivered faeces (VD, blue = GF-VD); C-section-delivered faeces (CSD, red = GF-CSD); microbiota or C-section-delivered faeces microbiota and lactobacilli (CSD + LB, green = GF-CSD + Lb) subjected (striped, DNBS) or not (solid, vehicle) to DNBS injections. N = 5-8. AB, Alcian blue; PAS, periodic acid-Schiff; FMT, faecal material transfer. * p -value < 0.05; ** p -value < 0.01; *** p -value < 0.001
