The mice in the 2.5% scGOS/lcFOS group showed a trend toward reduced arthritis severity scores over the entire 8-week study period; however, this effect was not significant ( p = 0.0571; Fig 2A ).
The small intestine lamina propria (SI-LP) of mice on the 5% scGOS/lcFOS diet contained slightly increased percentages of Th17, Th1 and Tregs, however these effect failed to reach statistical significance ( S5A–S5C Fig ).
