FIGURE 7.
Associations between gut microbial species and circulating metabolites. Spearman’s rank correlation between 33 gut microbial species and 13 metabolites in the SD, PCOS, and PCOS+SZ-A groups is presented (A). Red panes represent positive correlations between bacterial species and metabolites, and blue panes represent negative correlations between bacterial species and metabolites (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001). Scatter plot indicates the Person’s correlation coefficient with statistical significance (p < 0.05) between Eubacterium_Coprostanogenes (B), Lachnospiraceae_NK4B4 (C), Eubacterium_ruminantium (D), Ruminococcus_UGG_004 (E) or Allobaculum (F) and serum Fenoldopam levels in all the three groups. n = 5 rats in SD group, n = 6 rats in other groups, values are presented as means ± SD.
