Variance analysis of gut microflora function in the high- and low-selenium areas. (A) Histogram of top 30 metabolic pathways analyzed by PICRUSt function prediction. Comparison of gut microflora function among 100 volunteers in high- and low-selenium areas. The histogram indicated slight differences in predicted function among individuals, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups. (B) COG analysis diagram indicating significant difference in cell cycle control, inorganic ion transport and metabolism, nucleotide transport and metabolism, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, post-translation modification, and ribosomal structure and biogenesis. (C) Variance analysis of gut microflora function by KEGG pathways in the third layer. Blue and orange represents high- and low-selenium, respectively. Diagram on the left lists the composition with significant differences between groups and proportion of each group, evaluated by KEGG in the third level. Diagram on the right indicates the confidence interval and p-value of each group
