Effect of the ad libitum diet (AL) and every-other-day fasting (EODF) on gut microbiota diversity and structural composition in healthy rats. (A) Chao 1, ACE, Shannon, and Simpson indices assessing the difference in α-diversity between the two healthy groups (n = 6/group). Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test,*p < 0.05. (B) Principal coordinate analysis assessing the difference in β-diversity between the two healthy groups (n = 6). (C) Compositional distribution of gut microbiota phyla between the two healthy groups (n = 6). (D) Compositional distribution of gut microbiota genera between the two healthy groups (n = 6).
