Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using MaAsLin2 with nNOS and corticosterone as covariates. The effect size indicates the change in microbial relative abundance of MPC20 compared to that of MPC2.
Results with a statistically significant FDR (p<0.05) are shown in the table.
MPC2, two mice per cage; MPC20, twenty mice per cage; nNOS, neuronal nitric oxide synthase; FDR, false discovery rate.
