B.Theta abundance is positively correlated with the improvement of lipid metabolism dysfunction in NAFLD mice. (a) Schematic of the experimental design. (b, c) triglyceride (TG) (b) and cholesterol (CHO)(c) in the mouse liver (n = 6 ~ 7). (d) Representative liver histology visualized by H&E staining, oil red O (ORO) staining, and Masson’s trichrome staining. (e,f) NAFLD activity score (NAS) (e) and fibrosis score (f) of mouse liver (n = 6 ~ 7). (g-h) the abundance of the most prevalent gut microbiota at the family (g) and genus (h) levels analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing with fecal samples (n = 5). (i) B. theta abundance at the species level (n = 5). (j) Predicted lipid metabolism-related microbiome function based on the KEGG database. (k) B. theta abundance at the species level in mice with WD/CCl4 treatment for 12 weeks. Data were presented as means with SD or represented figures. *p < .05 and **p < .01 vs. model or control group. ns, not significant. N, Control; M, WD/CCl4/DEN; B, WD/CCl4/DEN+BBR (200 mg/kg).
