Fig. 2From: Gut microbiota mediated the therapeutic efficacies and the side effects of prednisone in the treatment of MRL/lpr miceAlterations in gut microbiota caused by prednisone in MRL/lpr mice. Alpha diversity indexes [Shannon (a); Simpson (b)], PCoA score plots (c), and identified major phylum (d) in MRL/lpr mice. LEfSe and PICRUST analysis identified the significantly altered genus and KEGG pathways caused by low (e, h), middle (f, i), and high doses (g, j) of prednisone in the treatment of MRL/lpr miceBack to article page
