aco-occurrence between change in the pathway abundance and change in zonulin (P2-P4/P5/P6, P3-P4/P5/P6) or calprotectin (P2-P5/P6, P3-P5/P6, P4-P6) levels: same—a change in the pathway abundance and change in marker level between time points occur in the same direction, opposite—a change in the pathway abundance and change in marker level between time points occur in the opposite direction. RMC (repeated measures correlation)—correlation between the pathway abundance and concentration of zonulin/calprotectin for paired measures assessed on six occasions (from P1 to P6, i.e., the entire observation period); LME (linear mixed-effects analysis)—an association between the pathway abundance change and marker change accounting for multiple time point pairs from the same subject, including time-point pair-specific relationships with either absence (the common slope model) or presence of the interaction (the different slopes model) between the abundance change and the time point pair); (+), positive RMC coefficient; (−), negative RMC coefficient
