Figure 1. Effect of SCFAs on the cognitive ability, DNTs differentiation and expression of inflammatory factor in AD mice. (A–C) Results of Morris water maze in mice (x¯ ± s, n = 10): Compared with WT group at the same time point, ^*P < 0.05; comparison with AD group at the same time point, ^#P < 0.05. (D–F) Results of DNTs test (x¯ ± s, n = 10) in vivo: Comparison of proportion of DNTs in the spleen in (E), and comparison of proportion of DNTs in the intestine in (F). Statistical significance between the groups, P < 0.05. (G–I) The expression levels of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) in peripheral blood, intestine and brain of mice (x¯ ± s, n = 10): Comparison with WT group, ^*P < 0.05; comparison with AD group, ^#P < 0.05.
