[Retracted] Alteration of Intestinal Microbiota and Hydrogen Sulfide Metabolism in Patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Figure 1

α and ß diversity of the intestinal microbiota in patients with HT and healthy controls. (a–d) Microbial α diversity in patients with HT and healthy controls. The richness was significantly lower in healthy controls according to the ACE and Chao indexes. (e) Microbial ß diversity. Bray–Curtis principal coordinate analysis (Bray-Curtis PCoA) revealed that the microbial composition in patients with HT differed from that in healthy controls. . HT, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
