Fig. 6From: Sex differences in stroke outcome correspond to rapid and severe changes in gut permeability in adult Sprague-Dawley ratsFecal metagenomic analysis pre- and post-stroke in male and female rats. a Alpha diversity was determined by observed ASVs at baseline and 2 days after MCAo. b Beta diversity measured by unweighted UniFrac at baseline and 2 days after MCAo. c Histogram depicting the mean (± SEM) of the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes at baseline and 2 days after MCAo. Pre-stroke, n = 13-22; post-stroke, n = 8-13; p < 0.05Back to article page
