In terms of gene expression related to lipid and glucose metabolism genes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria showed strong positive correlations with gene expression of Fasn (fatty acid synthase, fatty acid synthesis) and Pck1 (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, gluconeogenesis) while TM7 was positively correlated with hepatic Fasn and showed a trend ( p = 0.058) for positive correlations with hepatic expression of IL-6 , Pck1 and Ppara (peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor alpha, fatty acid oxidation).
