Figure 4 Effects of intermittent fasting on serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice and comparison of α diversity and β diversity in the gut microbiota of each group. (A) Serum LPS level (n=10). Data were presented as mean±SD. Differences between groups were statistically analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001. (B, C) Rarefaction curves and operational taxonomic unit rank curves. (D, E) Abundance-based coverage estimator index and Simpson index (n=6). (F) Nonmetric multidimensional plot.
