Relative abundance of common microbial taxa.
Bar charts showing the relative abundance of the most represented microbial taxa, defined as having a mean relative abundance of >1%, in stool samples of anorexia nervosa (AN, n = 15) and control (CTR, n = 15) groups. Phylum-level (a) and family-level (b) taxon profiles are shown.
Table 3.
Taxa significantly increased (+) or decreased (-) in abundance in anorexia nervosa subjects.

Redundancy analysis (RDA) of gut microbiota.
RDA shows a separation between anorexia nervosa (AN, red dots) and control (CTR, blue dots) subjects.

Distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA).
Db-RDA plot shows correlations between gut microbiota composition and body mass index (BMI), insulin, propionate and butyrate. Only significant variables are represented (p>0.05, Permanova analysis). Arrows in the db-RDA biplot denote the magnitudes and directions of the variable effects. Controls are represented by blue dots and anorexic subjects by red dots.
