Effects of endurance exercise on gut microbiota composition in ApoE knockout mice. The (a) α-diversity (observed and Chao1 index) and (b) β-diversity (unweighted and weighted UniFrac PcoA) in the WT CD, ApoE CD, ApoE WD, and ApoE WE EX groups are indicated by the same colors used in Fig. 2. The line inside the box represents the median, and the whiskers represent the lowest and highest values within the 1.5 interquartile range. Different superscript letters (a and b) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) in one-way ANOVA.
