Volatile Oil of Amomum villosum Inhibits Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via the Gut-Liver Axis

Figure 3

Amomum villosum altered the microbiota composition in HFD-fed mice. Microbiota composition in the feces of chow-fed mice; HFD mice treated with or without A. villosum were analyzed using 16s rDNA pyrosequencing (n = 10 for each group). (a) UniFrac-based PCoA analysis. (b) UPGMA clustering tree. (c) Relative abundance at the genus level. (d) Relative abundances of key genera in Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla. (e) Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio. (f) Species richness on the level of dendrogram order. The horizontal axis represents the sample information, the vertical axis represents species annotation information, the left side of the cluster tree represents the species cluster tree, and the top of the cluster tree represents the sample tree.
