Spearman’s correlation heatmap between 30 specific genera and metabolites related to cholesterol metabolism and other key indices. Hamsters were fed one of the five diets: non-cholesterol diet (NCD); 0.15% cholesterol diet (HCD); hawthorn seed oil substituting 50% lard (LHSO); hawthorn seed oil substituting 100% lard (HHSO), and HCD with 0.5% cholestyramine (PCD). Correlation significance is indicated by asterisks (“*” by p < 0.05, “**” by p < 0.01, and “***” by p < 0.001). Taxonomy information (phylum, family) is provided on the right
