Figure 7.

Correlations between bacteria/metabolites and metadata showing significant differences between the control and the B. coagulans intake group. A two-group comparison (Wilcoxon rank sum test) was performed between the control group and the B. coagulans intake group, and the correlation results with each metadata are shown for bacteria and metabolites for which a significant difference (p < 0.05) was detected. No correlation was found between Iba1 and sex. Therefore, this column was omitted. The legends for each column are as follows: “Increase or decrease” column—↑: high in the B. coagulans intake group (pink background color), ↓: low in the B. coagulans intake group (blue background color); Other columns—◯. A significant correlation was observed (pink background color; p < 0.05 in the Spearman correlation coefficient uncorrelation test).
