Association of serum ferritin and executive function with bacterial functionality in women. (a-b) Volcano plots of microbiome molecular functions associated (p adjusted < 0.05) with serum ferritin (a), and PVF (b), in women as calculated by ANCOM-BC from shotgun metagenomic sequencing, adjusting all models for age and BMI; and for years of education in PVF model. The log2 fold change of the association with a unit change in the ANCOM-BC-transformed variable values and the log10 p values adjusted for multiple comparisons using a sequential goodness of fit were plotted for each microbiome function. Significantly associated genes are colored in green (upregulated) or red (downregulated). c) Barplot plot of the KEGG pathway over-representation analyses (q value < 0.1) mapping the KEGG orthologues significantly associated with serum ferritin and PVF in women. d) Gene-concept network depicting the linkage of significant KEGG orthologues participating in KEGG pathways related to glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and two-component system for serum ferritin and PVF. PVF, phonemic verbal fluency; BMI, body mass index.
