Fig. 9From: Modulating phenylalanine metabolism by L. acidophilus alleviates alcohol-related liver disease through enhancing intestinal barrier functionL. acidophilus supplementation decreased intestinal phenylalanine of ALD mice. A PLS-DA showed that there were significant differences in intestinal metabolites of ALD mice with and without L. acidophilus supplementation. B Comparison of the abundances of L-phenylalanine, phenylpyruvic acid and 3-phenyllactic acid between ALD mice with and without L. acidophilus supplementation. C Comparison of the ratios of phenylpyruvic acid to L-phenylalanine and and 3-phenyllactic acid to L-phenylalanine between ALD mice with and without L. acidophilus supplementation. n.s, no significant. *p value < 0.05Back to article page
