Fig. 4. Correlation between bacterial species and metabolic or phenotypic parameters.

Fig. 4

Bacterial species that were differentially abundant between the sexes and impacted by ligand treatment in males showed a correlation with a plasma glucose levels n = 32 sexes combined, n = 16 for males only in blue), b insulin levels (n = 31 sexes combined, n = 15 for males only in blue), c visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in relation to total fat (n = 16, males only), d with Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC) proliferation score (n = 14, sexes combined), and e with F4/80+ macrophage colonic infiltration (n = 11 sexes combined). Metabolic and phenotypic parameters were previously analyzed and reported17. The best fit line was fitted with 95% confidence intervals, r Pearson correlation coefficient, and P value from a two-tailed Student’s t-test.
