Gut bacterial ClpB-like gene function is associated with decreased body weight in humans. a Box plot showing the differences of gut bacterial ClpB-like gene function (K03695, KEGG annotation) between subjects without (body mass index, BMI 18.5–30 kg/m²) and with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²). b Scatterplot displaying the relationship between BMI and gut bacterial ClpB-like gene function. c Scatterplot of the relationship between waist circumference and gut bacterial ClpB-like gene function. d Scatterplot of the relationship between the percentage of total fat mass assessed by DEXA and gut bacterial ClpB-like gene function
