Examining gut microbiota and metabolites to clarify mechanisms of Dimocarpus longan Lour leaf components against type 2 diabetes

Figure 5 Effects of Dimocarpus longan Lour leaf components on short-chain fatty acids in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats. A: Acetic acid; B: Propionic acid; C: Butyric acid; D: Isobutyric acid; E: 2-Methylbutyrate acid; F: Valeric acid; G: Isovaleric acid; H: Hexanoic acid; I: 4-Methylvaleric acid. Results were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^aP < 0.05 vs the control (Con) group; ^bP < 0.01 vs the Con group; ^cP < 0.05 vs the model (Mod) group; ^dP < 0.01 vs the Mod group. Con: Control group; Mod: The model group; Met: The metformin group; HDLC: The high-dose group.
