Heatmap of correlations between the gut microbiota, clinical indicators a and serological indicators b in different groups at the end of study. The correlation coefficients were calculated using Spearman correlation test. Boxes are labeled with the key genera selected in the LEfSe analysis. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Red color, positive correlation. Blue color, negative correlation. Red boxes, key genera enriched in the MT group and reversed after GC intervention. Blue boxes, key genera enriched in both NT and GC groups
