Diet-sensitive gut bacteria correlate with metabolic state and PN at 24 weeks of age. A Spearman’s correlation heatmap between gut microbial relative abundance at the genus level with metabolic phenotypes [body weight (BW; n = 22–24), fasting blood glucose (FBG; n = 14)] and nerve function [motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV; n = 21–23), sensory NVC (SNCV; n = 21–23)]. Only ASVs correlating with all parameters in at least one gut niche are shown. ASVs are listed with corresponding genus or family (*) level. Blue ASVs are lower with HFD and correlate negatively with metabolic parameters but positively with PN. Black ASVs are higher with HFD and correlate positively with metabolic phenotypes but negatively with PN. B Summary for (A); + Met/ − PN, correlates positively with metabolic parameters and negatively with PN parameters; − Met/ + PN, correlates negatively with metabolic parameters and positively with PN parameters. Red ASVs are unique for the specified tissues; black ASVs are shared in different tissues. ASV, amplicon sequence variant; C, colon; Ce, cecum; I, ileum; P, pellet
