At the ileal level, a trend toward significantly increased proportion of butyrate very close to statistical significance was detected in the CARN group ( Table 5 ; 0.568 vs. 1.194 mmol/100 mmol SCFA; p = 0.074), whereas the proportion of acetate trended toward decreased values ( Table 5 ; 97.5 vs. 95.9, p = 0.089).
