A high-protein diet induces fat loss and an altered intestinal microbiome in rats with Western diet-induced obesity. a Body fat mass of rats kept on a WD or switched to a HPD. Age-matched control rats on a ND are shown for comparison. **p < 0.01 b Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of the cecal luminal microbiome colored by diet. P value across groups calculated using Adonis. c Mean abundance of common genera. Some reads were identified only at the family (f) or order (o) level
