Changes in patients’ fecal microbiota after Probio-X intervention.
HYPERLIPIDEMIA
Although numerous studies in recent years have observed a strong association between the gut microbiota and onset/progression of hyperlipidemia, our microbial alpha diversity analysis (Shannon and J indexes) of subjects’ fecal microbiota revealed no significant intra-/intergroup differences (paired Wilcoxon test, Changes in fecal microbiota after Probio-X intervention. (A) Shannon index. (B) J index. (C) Relative abundance of dominant species. (D) Principal coordinate analysis (Bray-Curtis distance). (E) Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis. Distribution of (F) dominant metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) in each subject; (G and H) the MAG, B14_32, and the applied probiotic strains (Probio-M8, This study also analyzed the profile of metagenome-assembly genomes (MAGs) in the fecal microbiota (
