Figure 4

Heatmaps of correlations between species abundance (columns) and clinical parameters (rows) in patients with metabolic syndrome. Red and blue shades: positive and negative correlations, respectively. BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; GLU: glucose; HDL. C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Hip: hip circumference; LDL. C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP: systolic blood pressure; TCHO1: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; UA: uric acid; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist to hip ratio (circumference). Statistically significant correlations.
