Figure 9

Bacterial taxa in mouse cecum that significantly correlate to either plasma TMAO level or aortic lesion area. (A) Spearman correlation heat map demonstrating the association between the indicated microbial taxonomic genera and TMAO concentrations or aortic lesion area. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. (B–E) GPC supplementation shifts the relative abundance of two genera that significantly correlate with plasma TMAO level or aortic lesion area. Ten female C57BL/6J Apoe−/− mice fed control chow diet and 11 female C57BL/6J Apoe−/− mice fed GPC supplemented chow diet were utilized.
