Compositional and functional changes in the gut microbiota of the EAMG mice. A Scheme of animal experiment. B Body weight. C Clinical scores. PCoA analysis of the gut microbiota at the (D) species level and E functional level. F The top 15 abundant species for three groups. G Top 20 different pathways for the gut microbiota among three groups. Data were from three independent experiments and expressed as mean ± SEM. The significance of differences was assessed by ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s testing as a post-hoc test. (n = 6 mice /group), ns means not significant, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001
