Tangnaikang Alleviates Hyperglycemia and Improves Gut Microbiota in Diabetic Mice

Figure 2

The effects of Tangnaikang treatment on gut microbial abundance and diversity in KKAy mice. Mouse fecal samples were collected at 8 weeks after Tangnaikang treatment. The 16s rRNA sequencing was performed to analyze gut microbial profiles. (a) A pie graph of clean reads in each group. (b) Operational taxonomic units (OTU) analysis. (c) Chao1 and abundance-based coverage estimator were used to evaluate microbial species richness. (d) Shannon and Simpson indexes were used to evaluate microbial diversity.
