Figure 3. Changes in the concentration of various SCFA; acetic acid (A), propionic acid (B), and isobutyric acid (C) in feces between baseline and week 4 of supplementation. Figures depict the mean ± SEM of at least 22 observations. Changes over time were analyzed using GEE with a Gaussian model, including baseline value, age, sex, BMI, and fiber intake as covariates.*: statistically significant difference compared to placebo (P < 0.05). chRG-I: RG-I derived from chicory root; SCFA: short chain fatty acids; SEM: standard error of the mean; GEE: Generalized Estimating Equations; BMI: body mass index.
