Study of the Mechanism Underlying the Antihypertensive Effects of Eucommia ulmoides and Tribulus terrestris Based on an Analysis of the Intestinal Microbiota and Metabonomics

Potential biomarkers, as determined by LEfSe analysis. (a) Linear discriminant analysis value distribution histogram. The prefixes of p, c, o, f, g, and s before the species represent six different taxonomic levels: phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. (b) Evolutionary branch diagram. Each small circle indicates a classification at this level, and the size of the circle was proportional to the relative abundance. Coloring principle: biomarkers of different species colored following the corresponding group. Yellow stands for species with no significant difference, while red nodes and green nodes represent the key microbial communities that play important roles in their respective groups.
