Alterations of obligate and facultative anaerobes, individual bacteria classes in colon contents. Alterations of obligate and facultative anaerobes, individual bacteria classes in colon contents were analyzed by two-way ANOVA for interaction between factor A (control versus endotoxemia) and factor B (normoglycemia versus hyperglycemia). Ninety five percent confidence intervals for each four factors were also presented. If the interaction between two factors didn’t exist, independent effects of these two factors were confirmed. If the interaction existed, comparison of two groups were performed using Student’s t-test separately in the Control group (CN vs CH) and the Endotoxemia group (EN vs EH). The main effect of endotoxemic insult was found only in class Bcteroidetes. Abbreviation; CN: control with normoglycemia group, CH: control with hyperglycemia group, EN: endotoxemia with normoglycemia group, EH: endotoxemia with hyperglycemia group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (log10 cells/g of colon contents). White and black bars indicate control and endotoxemia group, respectively
