Graphs of fitting Type‐I PLE and Type‐III PLE with the gut microbial samples of the male and female: a) Type‐I PLE; b) Type‐III PLE. The pink points and line represent for the female and the green represent for the male. There were no significant differences in the PLE parameters for the gut microbiome between both the sexes. Similar to the gut microbiome, no PLE scaling parameters were detected in absolute majority of the sites, except for (i) the comparison of buccal mucosa in Type‐I PLE parameters, and (ii) the comparisons of left and right antecubital fossa and right retroauricular crease in Type‐III PLE parameters.
