PCoA Plots of Unweighted and Weighted UniFrac Distances.
Unweighted (A) and weighted (B) PCoA was performed based on the UniFrac distance matrix generated from sequencing cecal 16S rRNA genes in samples from HCR and LCR rats. Each dot represents a sample from HCR-EX (big red dots), HCR-SED (small red dots), LCR-EX (big blue dots), and LCR-SED (small blue dots) rats.

Relative Microbial Abundance and Food Intakes Correlation.
Correlations between the relative abundance of the bacterial communities (OTU) and food intake at wk11 of dietary and exercise interventions. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) are shown for each taxon: (A) Christensenellaceae, (B) Porphyromonadaceae, (C) Clostridiaceae, (D) Peptococcaceae, and (E) Desulfovibrionaceae, with the associated p values.
