Additional file 1: of Modulations in the offspring gut microbiome are refractory to postnatal synbiotic supplementation among juvenile primates

Figure S1. Loose stools and synbiotic supplementation was not associated with significant weight loss. Juveniles were supplemented with synbiotics after experiencing loose stools (n = 7). To determine if weight loss following symptoms and synbiotic supplementation occurred, we compared the weight of the synbiotic supplementation cohort with an untreated, healthy, age-matched cohort (n = 4) that was also matched for dietary exposures. Measurement of body weight was performed using the Ohaus ES series scale (Parsippany, NJ). There was no significant difference in the mean weight of synbiotic supplemented juveniles in comparison to untreated juveniles from prior, during, and post-supplementation. Error bars represent standard deviation. Test for significance was performed using Sidak’s multiple-comparisons test. (PDF 132 kb
