New strain of Pediococcus pentosaceus alleviates ethanol-induced liver injury by modulating the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acid metabolism

Figure 6 The short-chain fatty acid levels in cecal contents among the three groups. The levels of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, 2-methylbutyric acid and valeric acid. All data are presented as means ± SE. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001 vs the Control group. ^dP < 0.05 vs the EtOH group. P. pentosaceus: Pediococcus pentosaceus.
