Table 5.

The correlation between microbiota phylum and content of liver TC, LDL-C, and serum TMAO content.

Item Proteobacteria Actinobacteria Verrucomicrobia Ignavibacteriae
TMAO 0.9∗ 0.9∗ −0.6 −0.67
TC 0.9∗ 0.9∗ −0.6 −0.67
LDL-C 1∗∗ 1∗∗ −0.3 −0.67

TC = total cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TMAO = trimethylamine-N-oxide. ∗P-value < 0.05; ∗∗P-value < 0.01.
