Exogenous and Endogenous Serine Deficiency Exacerbates Hepatic Lipid Accumulation

Figure 6

Dietary serine deficiency decreased contents of short-chain fatty acids in colonic contents and serum. Acetate (a), propionate (b), and butyrate (c) content in colonic content. Acetate (d), propionate (e), and butyrate (f) content in serum. CONT: mice were fed on the control diet; NS: mice were fed on the serine- and glycine-deficient diet; NCT: mice were fed on the control diet and supplemented with NCT-503. Data are presented as . . ^a,bMeans of the bars with different letters were significantly different among groups ().
