a Unweighted UniFrac PCoA plot based on the OTU abundance of each rat. b UPGMA analysis based on (a). Bacterial taxonomic profiling at the phylum (c) and family (d) levels of intestinal bacteria from different groups. The relative abundance of the bacterial phylum (e–h) and family (i–o) changes in the fecal samples from different groups. Values are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 5 per group). #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 vs ND, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs HFD.
