Corticosterone effect alcohol-induced intestinal dysbiosis: a functional analysis. Adult mice were fed a liquid diet with (EF) or without (PF) ethanol for four weeks. In some groups, animals were injected with corticosterone (CORT) daily. Animals in other groups were injected with the vehicle. Analysis of data from 16S rRNA-sequencing of fecal samples from different groups of mice is presented. (A) Functional categories associated with taxonomic composition were analyzed from the phylogenetic investigation of bacterial communities by PICRUSt. Spearman’s correlation on the most abundant microbial metabolic pathways in different groups is presented. (BD) Effects of alcohol and corticosterone on the abundance of microbial categories expressing ethanol metabolizing enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (B), aldehyde dehydrogenase (C), and acetyl CoA synthetase (D).
