From: Lung-gut axis of microbiome alterations following co-exposure to ultrafine carbon black and ozone
Alterations in short chain fatty acid content and respective microbiome. A Alterations in serum acetate after multiple exposures. B–C Alteration in propionate and butyrate content in serum by GC–MS after multiple exposures. D–G Significant increase in Ruminiclostridium 5, Ruminiclostridium 6, Ruminococcaceae_uncultured and Lacnospiraceae_uncultured in the colon content after multiple CB + O3 exposure. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM) and analyzed by One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. n = 5–6. *p ≤ 0.05. *denotes significantly difference from air, # denotes significantly different from O3 at the same time point
