From: Ketamine interactions with gut-microbiota in rats: relevance to its antidepressant and anti-inflammatory properties

Fig. 1

Effects of 7 day ketamine (2.5 mg/kg i.p.) on gut bacterial species diversity (a) and species richness (b). Box-and-Whisker represent values of Shannon Diversity Index (n = 5) for (a) and species number (b). Ketamine did not have any significant effect on species diversity (P = 0.99) or species richness (P = 0.22). The ‘x’ designation in the middle of the bar represents mean value for each group, horizontal line across the bars indicate median values. The minimum and maximum quartile values are represented by a horizontal line in the bottom and top of the bars
