Figure Lengend Snippet: Antibiotics (ABX) induced dysbacteriosis interferes the beneficial effects on cardiac function of L. johnsonii . (A) The schematic diagram for L. johnsonii and ABX administration pipeline in AMI rats. (B) Rats were treated with ABX for 7 days prior to LAD surgery. The sham group and the AMI group were treated daily with control saline, Lactobacillus alone or simultaneously with ABX for 28 days by oral gavage. (C) Representative echocardiograph of rat’s left ventricle. (D) EF, (E) FS, (F) LVID; d and (G) LVID; s calculated using dimensional measurements of rats left ventricle. (H) Representative heart pictures, H&E staining [scale bar equals 3,000 μm (top) and 75 μm (bottom)], WGA and Masson staining of heart tissue (scale bar equals 50 μm and 650 μm). # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 versus Sham, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 versus AMI, & p < 0.05 versus LJ and ^ p < 0.05, ^^ p < 0.01 versus AMI, LJ, LR, correspondingly.
