16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of fecal microbiota in high-fat diet-induced obese mice supplemented with Peyssonnelia caulifera and Meristotheca papulosa extracts
This project contains 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data from fecal samples collected from mice in a high-fat diet-induced obesity study. The study evaluated the effects of Peyssonnelia caulifera extract (PCE) and Meristotheca papulosa extract (MPE) on metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, gut barrier integrity, and gut microbiota composition. Raw paired-end amplicon sequencing reads were generated to characterize microbiota changes associated with dietary supplementation in control, high-fat diet, high-fat diet plus PCE, and high-fat diet plus MPE groups.
