Extended Data Fig. 10: Prevotella copri and/or Blastocystis presence are indicators of a more favourable postprandial glucose response to meals.

Extended Data Fig. 10

a–c, Differential analysis of visceral fat, HFD and glucose iAUC 2 h after standardised breakfast according to presence-absence of one and both of P. copri and Blastocystis. The analysis reveals that both these species are indicators of reduced visceral fat, good cholesterol and meal-driven increase of glucose. d,e, Differential analysis of C-peptide and triglycerides at different time points according to presence-absence of one and both of P. copri and Blastocystis. The distributions of the concentrations for C-peptide and triglycerides were typically lower when one or both are absent. An asterisk between two box plots represents a significant p-value (p < 0.05) according to the Mann-Whitney U test (two-sided, Supplementary Table 8). Box plots show first and third quartiles (boxes) and the median (middle line), whiskers extends up-to 1.5× the interquartile range. P-values are available in Supplementary Table 8.
