Fig. 6. Differential host mRNA expression of Muc2, Ocln, and Tlr2 in male and female enterotypes. The host colon mRNA expression of corresponding genes in the fecal microbiota of male (A) and female (B) rats was measured by Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) as described in MATERIALS AND METHODS. The statistical significance was calculated by the Mann–Whitney test. Muc2, Mucin 2; Ocln, Occludin; Tlr2, Toll-like receptor 2.
