Fig 7. Taxa abundance based on circulating leptin and oxytocin.

Fig 7

Data are relative counts for taxa abundance of genus Dialister and order Lactobacillales (Lacto) in subjects without diabetes. The subjects were divided based on low (Low) or high (High) level of Leptin (Lep) and oxytocin (OT). Pairwise Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the groups. There was lower abundance of Dialister in High-Leptin vs. Low-Leptin (p = 0.03), but higher abundance of Dialister in High-Oxytocin vs. Low-Oxytocin (p = 0.04). The opposite trends were observed for the order Lactobacillales, a higher abundance in High-Leptin vs. Low-Leptin (p = 0.06) and vice versa for oxytocin (p = 0.05).
