Characteristic longitudinal alterations of the gut microbial community during the 28-day hypobaric hypoxia challenge. (IMAGE)
Caption
The Prevotella genus was sharply decreased in the challenged rats, especially on day 1. In contrast, the abundance of the Bacteroides genus was slightly increased, leading to a higher Bacteroides to Prevotella ratio in the model rats, particularly on day 1 and day 28. The abundance of the Parabacteroides and Aplistipes genera was increased on day 1 after hypoxic stimuli, with a small decrease later, but was maintained at a higher level than that in the control group at all the sampling time points. Meanwhile, the abundance of the Lactococcus genus began to increase 2 weeks post the hypobaric hypoxia challenge. In contrast, the Lachnospira genus was suppressed in the acute period after the hypobaric hypoxia challenge.
