Effect of LTF and CaD on gut microbiota in a rat model. A The α diversity of the gut microbiota. B Bray–Curtis distance PCoA. C The levels of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, and the ratio between the two bacteria. D Heatmap represents the hierarchical clustering based on the microbial composition at the genus level. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6) (*p < 0.05: vs. normal control group; p < 0.05: vs. diabetic control group)
