Figure Lengend Snippet: Microbiome assessment and TLR2 and 4 ligands at the Run-in phase (A) PCoA based on phylo-RPCA distances. Locations are differentiated by markers and weeks by color. (B) Shannon entropy and Faith phylogenetic diversity boxplots by week, location, group, and sex. The line inside the box represents the median, while the whiskers represent the lowest and highest values (excluding outliers) and interquartile range (IQR). Independent samples were tested with the Kruskal-Wallis test, and dependent samples were tested with the Wilcoxon test. Significant p -values are indicated with asterisks (∗ - p < 0.05; ∗∗ - p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ - p < 0.001). (C) ANCOM-BC differential abundance test between locations. Colors indicate where a given taxon was found to be more abundant. Log fold changes plotted only for taxons with adjusted p -values less than 0.05. (D) Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) (Wilcoxon test, n = 34) and (E) TLR2 ligands (Wilcoxon test, n = 34) in the serum of participants at timepoint -3W and 0W. Single data points are presented in graph D and E.
