Tea treatments modify the structure of the cecal microbiota in high-fat diet mice: (a) OTU number; (b) Shannon index (at OTU level); (c) Simpson index (at OTU level); (d) taxa abundance cluster analysis at the phylum level. (e) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) on Bray-Curtis distance matrix. (a–c) Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparison test. N = 7 per group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, compared with the NFD group; ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, compared with the HFD group.
