title: DNA of Mesocricetus auratus feces
design: To evaluate ameliorating effects of CHIE on hyperlipemia and to evaluate regulating effects of CHIE on gut microbiota in vivo, golden hamsters were divided into four groups (n=8); one group was allowed free access to the regular chow diet and water as standard control, other groups were allowed free access to HFD and water or CHIE (2.24% in drinking fluid, m/v) for ten weeks, and then were sacriced by cervical dislocation. Drinking fluids were refreshed daily.
