Profiles of gut microbiomes. Female rats were assigned to the following regime for 6 weeks. Ad libitum supply of water and food (normal-control, WAFA), water supply for 1 h per day with ad libitum food intake (WRFA), and ad libitum water supply plus pair feeding of food to as much as WRFA (WAFR). Rats in WR-WA had water restriction for 3 weeks and ad libitum water supply with ad libitum food intake for 3 weeks. Feces were collected and the bacterial DNA was analyzed (n = 8). The fecal bacterial community was shown in the principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) (a). The proportion of taxonomic assignments (phylum) (b) and [order] (c) for gut microbiomes was analyzed
