Analysis of changes in intestinal microbial diversity in obese dogs according to synbiotic preparation containing L. gasseri BNR17 supplementation.
| Alpha Diversity | Obesity | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–Week | 10–Week | ||
| Observed OTUs | 824.40 ± 176.07 | 1202.20 ± 141.07 | 0.52 |
| Chao1 | 3155.85 ± 1062.21 | 3397.39 ± 431.51 | 0.68 |
| Shannon | 2.97 ± 0.49 | 3.92 ± 0.35 | 0.99 |
| Simpson | 0.71 ± 0.12 | 0.86 ± 0.04 | 0.99 |
Observed OTUs: number of species distributed per sample. Chao1: estimates the richness of the species based on the information of the species. Shannon: estimates the diversity of the species present in the sample. Simpson: the concentration of the species found in the sample, which has a value of 0 to 1.
