FMD modifies the dysbiosis of gut microbiota induced by MPTP based on 18S rRNA sequencing. (a) Analysis of alpha diversity based on 18S rRNA sequencing-predicted gut microbiota richness by the Chao1 index. (b) Comparison of fecal microbiota structures and distribution at the phylum level, based on 18S rRNA sequencing. (c) Heatmap based on the Bray–Curtis distance analysis of 18S rRNA showing relative abundance of gut microbiota at the phylum level. (d) Relative abundance of gut microbiota changed significantly based on 18S rRNA sequencing. NA = NS-AL group; NF = NS-FMD group; MA = MPTP-AL group; MF = MPTP-FMD group. n = 10 mice per group
