Curcumin Alleviates DSS-Induced Anxiety-Like Behaviors via the Microbial-Brain-Gut Axis

Figure 4

Composition of the gut microbiota among groups (/group). (a) Bacterial taxonomic profiling at the phylum level of three groups. (b) Venn diagrams showed the number of differential gut microbiota at the phylum level between the DSS vs. the control group (orange) and DSS + CUR vs. DSS group (light blue) and their shared differential gut microbiota (navy blue). (c) Relative abundances of differential gut microbiota at phylum level between DSS vs. the control group and DSS + CUR vs. DSS group. (d) Heatmap of the relative abundances of various bacterial genera identified in three groups. The red or blue colors represent the high relative or low relative of abundance in each sample. (e) Venn diagrams showed the number of differential gut microbiota at genera level between the DSS vs. the control group (orange) and DSS + CUR vs. the DSS group (light blue) and their shared differential gut microbiota (navy blue). (f) Relative abundances of differential gut microbiota at genera level between DSS vs. control group and DSS + CUR vs. DSS group.
