Cornuside Alleviates Diabetes Mellitus-Induced Testicular Damage by Modulating the Gut Microbiota

Figure 5

Taxonomic differences in gut microbiota among the control, model, and Cor groups. (a) Hierarchical cluster tree. (b) Taxonomic cladogram acquired using LEfSe. Differences are reflected in the color of the richest class (green represents the control group, red represents the model group, and blue represents the Cor group). The diameter of each circle is proportional to the abundance of the taxon. (c) Statistical LDA score (log 10 >2) of significantly acting microbial taxa in different groups obtained using LDA analysis. The ordinate indicates the taxa with significant differences, and the abscissa indicates the LDA scores in the bar graph. The bars are sorted by the score to describe the differences in each sample. The longer the bar, the more significant the difference. versus the control group; versus the model group.
