The gut microbiota structure of overweight/obese women segregates from that of normal-weight women. a Alpha diversity measured using the Shannon index and the number of observed OTUs for overweight/obese (OB) and normal-weight (NW) women. * p < 0.02, Wilcoxon rank-sum test. b Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot based on unweighted UniFrac distances between the gut microbiota profiles of OB and NW women (p = 0.007, permutation test with pseudo-F ratio). The ellipses represent the 95% confidence interval for each study group. c Boxplots showing the relative abundance distribution of significantly different bacterial genera between study groups (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Only taxa found in at least 20% of the samples were considered
