Microbiota structure assessed by non-metric dimensional scaling (NMDS) and bacterial diversity. A four dimensional model, built on a species level dissimilarity matrix has been obtained with a stress value of 0.08 (a). Reciprocal Simpson alpha-diversity, Chao richness and Simpson evenness (b) assessed from amplicon sequencing data of microbial cecal content of ApoE−/−mice fed, a low fat diet (CT), a high fat (HF) diet or a HF diet supplemented with 5% chitin-glucan (CG) or a combination of 5% CG and 0.5% pomegranate peel extracts (CG + PPE) for 8 weeks (p > 0.05 ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test).
