Evaluation of sequencing data from the mice’s fecal samples. (a) Venn diagram showed the number of OTUs in the three groups. C: control group; M: APP/PS1 model group; A: acupuncture treatment group. (b) Rarefaction curves indicate whether the amount of sequencing data of the sample is reasonable. C: control group; M: APP/PS1 model group; A: acupuncture treatment group. (c) Shannon index revealed that α-diversity and richness are intertwined. (d) Simpson index showed the variety, which included both α-diversity and richness.
