Faecal metabolome responses to an altered dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio in adult dogs

Figures & data

Figure 1. Relative abundance of significantly altered metabolites in dogs fed a low-protein/high carbohydrate (LPHC) vs. high-protein/low carbohydrate (HPLC) diet. Bar charts with proportions on the left represent the relative abundance of the average peak intensity of the metabolite in diet groups. Values and ranges of 95% confidence intervals for metabolite relative abundances are presented on the right bars. Asterisks with numbers indicate significant differences and corrected p-values.

Figure 2. Overview of metabolic pathways associated with amino acid metabolism with significant differences. Red hexagons are compounds (Tier level 5 according to Schymanski et al. 2014) significantly affected by the diets; pink hexagons are detected metabolites linked to the pathway detected, but not significantly different between groups.

Figure 3. Overview of metabolic pathways associated with fat and fatty acid metabolism with significant differences. Red hexagons are compounds (Tier level 5 according to Schymanski et al. 2014) significantly affected by the diets; pink hexagons are detected metabolites linked to the pathway detected, but not significantly different between groups.
