Figure 6. Correlations between gut microbiota and serum/fecal metabolites. (A) Spearman’s correlation coefficient between the genera Parabacteroides and Intestinibacter and serum metabolites. (B) Spearman’s correlation coefficient between the genera Parabacteroides and Intestinibacter and fecal metabolites. (C) Spearman’s correlation coefficient between the serum and fecal metabolites. Differences were considered significant when the p-value was < 0.05 and |r| was > 0.5. If r < 0, there was a negative correlation.
