Correlation heat map demonstrating the association between the indicated gut microbiota taxonomic genera and BA transformation index, including deconjugation ratio and 7α-dehydroxylation by gut microbiota. Significant positive correlations were observed between serum CA/(CA + Tauro-CA) and Akkermansia, Allobaculum, Adlercreutzia, or Parabacteroides, and between DCA/(DCA + CA) and f_Desulfovibrionaceae; g_Unclassified, Anaerotruncus, f_Lachnospiraceae; g_unclassified, or [Ruminococcus]. ^†p<0.05 compared between the high-fat diet group and the high-fat diet + EGCG group.
