Sodium Butyrate Attenuated Diabetes-Induced Intestinal Inflammation by Modulating Gut Microbiota

Figure 5

The effect of SB on the intestinal flora imbalance of a DM mouse model. (a) Shannon index chart. (b) PCA chart. (c) Hieratical cluster tree. (d) The LDA scores (log 10 > 2) of the microbial taxa significantly affected different groups acquired by LDA analysis. The bar graph represents the LDA score by the horizontal axis, and the vertical axis shows the significantly distinct groups. The greater the difference, the longer the bar. To display the variations for each sample, bar charts are arranged according to scores. (e) Taxonomic cladogram obtained with LEfSe. Differences are displayed in the color of the most abundant class (red for the control group, blue for the DM model group, and green for the SB group). Each circle’s diameter is proportional to the taxon’s abundance. n = 6/group; vs. control and ## vs. DM group.
