A Venn diagram and B α-diversity analysis for control, model, and Q808 groups (n = 6). Venn diagram illustrates the average unique and common OTU numbers in three groups. The α-diversity (Chao 1 index) showed that the diversity of the gut microbial community was significantly decreased in model group compared with control (p = 0.021) and significantly increased in Q808 group compared with model group (p = 0.001). Differences in relative abundances of OTUs were calculated using Tukey’s honest significance test by R package. Indexes of α-diversity (Chao 1 index) were analyzed by the Kruskal–Wallis test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
