a The partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of the microbial community for ACTH group (in green) and Control group (in red), n = 6. b The fecal microbial structures at the phylum level for ACTH group and Control group, different colors represent different microbe at phylum level, n = 6. c LEfSe analysis of gut microbiota for ACTH group and Control group, n = 6. The abundances of taxa from phylum to genus levels were compared between the two groups. Taxa enriched in ACTH group are indicated by a negative LDA score (green), and taxa enriched in Control group have a positive LDA score (red). Only taxa of an LDA significant threshold of 3.0 were shown
