Changes in gut microbiota and relationship with anthropometric parameters
The surgical intervention had no significant impact on richness and evenness, measured by the Shannon diversity index. Nonetheless, it affected beta diversity (Most of the significantly increased taxa after the follow-up belonged to the Streptococcaceae (Changes and associations between species and metabolic characteristics 1 year post-surgery. Log2 fold-change (FC) expresses the significant increase or decrease (≥+2/-2, Of note, On the other hand, downregulated species after surgery belong to the Clostridiaceae family (We also analyzed the correlation of microbiota families with other variables, such as gut permeability markers (zonulin) but found no association. Of note, pre-surgical zonulin correlated positively with weight (r=0.61,
