Figure 6.

Relative abundance of gut bacterial taxa at the different level (A–C) at the order level; (D–F) at the family level; (G–I) at the genus level of adult male rats. All the results are expressed as relative abundance (%) of sequences and presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett's test post-hoc or Kruskall Wallis non-parametric equivalent test. Control-C (n = 5), HS-C (n = 5), Ho-C (n = 4), HSt-C (n = 5). ⁺ p < 0.05, ⁺⁺ p < 0.01 (Control-C vs. HS-C); ^# p < 0.05 (Control-C vs. HSt-C).
