The effects of plasma from rats with intermittent fasting and plasma from rats without any treatment on the rats’ gut mikrobiota (A) Shannon (H), (B) Simpson (1-D) indexes and (C) Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio (F/B ratio). One-way anova (one-sided p-value) was utilized. The degree of significance was denoted as * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001. Heatmaps showing a comparison of the percent metagenomic ratios of the top ten bacterial (D) families, (E) genera and (F) species that became dominant after IFpls transfer in the Cnt and Npls groups. Cnt (control) group, IFpls (the group receiving plasma from rats undergoing intermittent fasting), and Npls (the group receiving plasma from untreated rats).
