Although in control diet-fed allergic mice serum acetate levels again showed a decreasing trend ( p = 0.092) compared to sham, none of the FOS diets affected serum acetate levels ( Figure 5B ).

No significant effect on the activated Th2/Th1 ratio (defined as the CD69+ fraction of Th2 and Th1 cells; Supplementary Figures S4B , C ) was observed, although the 10% FOS diet showed a trend ( p = 0.10) toward shifting the activated Th2/Th1 ratio away from Th2 ( Figure 2E ).
Concomitantly, these mice showed an increasing trend in IL-10 production, although it did not reach significance ( Figure 3E ).
