Fecal extracellular bacterial enzyme activity during the experimental feeding of the rats.

<p>C_CEL, control diet with 6% cellulose (CEL) as the dietary fiber; C_FOS, control diet with 3% fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and 3% cellulose as the dietary fiber; EP_CEL, diet with the EP strawberry extract and CEL as the dietary fiber; EP_FOS, diet with the EP extract and FOS/CEL as the dietary fiber; EPA_CEL, diet with the EPA strawberry extract and CEL as the dietary fiber; EPA_FOS, diet the EPA extract and FOS/CEL as the dietary fiber. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean. ^A,B The significant differences between the extracts and control groups (P<0.05). ^a,b The significant differences between the C_CEL, C_FOS, EP_CEL, EP_FOS, EPA_CEL, and EPA_FOS groups are indicated with superscripts only cases of statistically significant E×F interactions (P<0.05).
