Abstract
<p>Unweighted principal coordinate analysis plot of the first two principal coordinates categorized by BMI (<25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, ≥25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) in (A) women and (B) men. Ellipses were added to plots using the R package, latticeExtra (R version 2.15.3). Alpha rarefaction plots of Shannon diversity indices grouped by normal weight (<25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; open circles) and overweight/obese (≥25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; red circles) status for women (C) and for men (D). Statistical significance was assessed by non-parametric Monte Carlo permutations (QIIME). (E) Relative abundance of Firmicures and Bacteroidetes. Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test was used to test for overall differences using SAS software (version 9.3).</p
