Correlations between canine chronic enteropathy clinical activity index (CCECAI) and several parameters. a The relative faecal abundance of Lactobacillus (n = 25); b total faecal SCFA concentrations (n = 25); c the ratio of plasma C4 (butyrylcarnitine + isobutyrylcarnitine) to C0 (free carnitine) (n = 32); d plasma valine (n = 32); e plasma citrulline (n = 32); and f plasma alanine concentrations (n = 32). Figure illustration: The faecal proportions of Lactobacillus are negatively correlated with CCECAI scores a; the total SCFA concentrations are negatively correlated with CCECAI scores b; the C4/C0 ratios are negatively correlated with CCECAI scores c; the plasma citrilline concentrations are negatively correlated with CCECAI scores d; the plasma valine concentrations are positively correlated with CCECAI scores e; the plasma alanine concentrations are negatively correlated with CCECAI scores f
