Overall characteristics of the gut microbiomes sampled from weeks 1–9 and cecum sampled at week 11. a-b Gut microbial alpha diversity of wild-type mice fed ad libitum (WT), ob/ob mice fed ad libitum (OB) and ob/ob mice pair-fed according to WT intake (OB-PF). Two different measures are shown: observed ASV richness (a) and Shannon diversity (b). c Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratios in gut microbiota of WT, OB and OB-PF mice, shown in log-scale. Comparisons with statistically significant differences are denoted with significance levels as: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05
