We further performed a cross-Correlation-Analysis with 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics data, showing highly significant correlations ( p < 0.01) between KYNA levels in cecal contents and multiple bacterial taxonomic units ( Desulfovibrionales , Mucispirillaceae ) that were enriched in NRF mice (Fig. 6a ). suggesting KYNA KYNA is produced by abnormal enrichment of gut microbiota in NRF mice.
