Spearman's correlation of gut microbiota and indices of liver function.

Gut bacteriaa	AST		ALT		ALP
	r	p	r	p	r	p
Akkermansia muciniphila	0.8167	0.0108	0.7833	0.0172	0.0333	0.9484
Bifidobacterium pseudolongum	0.0714	0.8820	0.0857	0.9194	0.1429	0.7825

^aLEfSe analysis showed that the relative abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila and Bifidobacterium pseudolongum were higher in the SVP group than in the Con and G-CK + SVP groups. AST, aspartate transaminase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; Con, control; SVP, sodium valproate (500 mg/kg, twice daily); G-CK, ginsenoside compound K (320 mg/kg, once daily). Bold indicates correlation.
