GXN improved colon barrier permeability and the diversity of gut microbiota in AD rabbits. (a) Typical images of AB-PAS staining in the colon tissue. Scale bar = 500 mm. Black boxes indicate the areas shown at higher magnification. (b) Quantitative analysis of the number of AB-PAS-positive cells per crypt in each group. Chao1 (c) and Shannon (d) indices of α-diversity were assessed. (e) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of the β-diversity index. n = 5.
