Alteration of Intestinal Microbiota in 3-Deoxyglucosone-Induced Prediabetic Rats

Figure 4

Specific species altered by two-week intragastric administration of 3DG, for each group. (a) Cladogram using the LEfSe method indicated the phylogenetic distribution of faeces microbes associated with NC (green) and 3DG-treated rats (red). (b) LDA scores (>2) showed the biomarkers and significant bacterial difference between NC and 3DG-treated rats. (c) Bar plot of species importance at the genus level performed by random forest analysis. The abscissa is the importance level, and the ordinate is the species name sorted by importance.
