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.
