Similarly, the Chao1 index in the HD group showed a trend toward being higher than those of the MD ( P = 0.075) and LD group ( P = 0.054).
Similarly, the Chao1 index in the HD group showed a trend toward being higher than those of the MD ( P = 0.075) and LD group ( P = 0.054).
Furthermore, the differences between the LD and HD ( R = 0.131, P = 0.044) groups and between the MD and HD groups ( R = 0.292, P = 0.004) were also significant or highly significant, as determined by ANOSIM ( Table 6 ).
