The relationships between the gut microbes and metabolites affect by diet and inulin supplementation. Mice were treated based on the methods described under figure legend 1. A heat map generated by Spearman’s correlation analysis reveals the relationships between the abundance of 59 bacterial genus and 104 metabolites that are significantly changed by diet or inulin supplementation. The spearman correlation data were generated using R programming (n = 8 for CD-fed mice, n = 7 for FPC-fed mice, and n = 4 for inulin-supplemented FPC-fed mice)
