Microbial diversity richness anticorrelates with inflammation. (A) Spearman’s correlation between variation of gut microbial gene richness and individual inflammatory status (serum hs-CRP) variation at the end of trial; n observation=62. (B) Violin plot showing differences in serum hs-CRP variation between subjects increasing (n=25, yellow) compared with subjects decreasing (n=37, light blue) gene richness at the end of trial. Statistical differences between groups were determined using unpaired Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. hs-CRP, high sensitivity C reactive protein.
