Isocaloric fructose administration preserves fecal microbiome diversity. (A) alpha diversity (richness calculated at a rarefaction level of 1000 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs), (B) beta diversity (unweighted and weighted Unifrac distance), individual subjects shown by different colors on the right, and (C) changes in abundance of specific taxa (outcome variable of logit-transformed abundance based on a mixed-effects model of the predictive variables: type of sugar and pre/post treatment).
