This image consists of six parts, a, b, and c representing the results of each of the individual rat saliva immunoglobulin ELISAs. Oral bacterial community at the phylum (d) and genus (e) levels. Relative abundance of bacterial groups in each of the 24 oral cavity samples (black). Any phylum or genus with an abundance of less than 1% was merged into other groups. f Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of the microbial communities. Red circles, Blue triangles, Green diamonds, and Yellow squares represent the gut microbiotas of samples from the control (c group), sucrose (s group), saccharin (sa group), and xylose (x group) groups, respectively. * 0.01 < p ≤ 0.05, ** 0.001 < p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001
