Fig. 3. Effect of GTP on gut microbial diversity. Observed OTUs (A), Chao1 index (B), Shannon index (C), Inverse Simpson index (D), and non-metric multidimensional scaling plot (E). Values are expressed as mean±standard error (n=6). Different letters (a, b) indicate significant differences (P<0.05) among groups, as determined using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. DSS, dextran sulfate sodium; GTP, green tea and java pepper mixture; OTU, operational taxonomic unit; PCoA, principal coordinate analysis; PC, principal component.
