Diversity of intestinal microbiota reduced in ovariectomy and changed by a SIF diet treatment. (A) Alpha diversity in fecal samples. (B) Beta diversity in fecal samples was measured using principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of unweighted UniFrac. (C)The radio of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. (D) The changed abundance at phylum level. (E) Differential abundance at family level between groups was shown with an OTU bubble plot. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared with the OVX group. Data present as the means ± SD. Significant difference between study groups were evaluated using ordinary one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and uncorrected Fisher’s LSD multiple comparison test.
