Clostridium Butyricum and Butyrate Biomarkers in Lean vs Obese Pigs

A 2.6 KB LOG file from figshare contains biomarker data related to obesity and gut microbiota. The dataset, authored by Li Wangchang and updated in March 2026, examines correlations between obesity, Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharide, and reduced Clostridium butyricum and butyrate levels in pig breeds. Column details and row counts are unknown.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between the biomarker 'Gram-negative bacteria (GNB)' expansion and elevated 'blood lipopolysaccharide (LPS)' levels.
• Investigate the relationship between obesity status and the reduced abundance of the 'Clostridium_butyricum' bacterium.
• Model associations between the metabolite 'butyrate' and systemic immune-metabolic dysfunction markers.
• Compare biomarker profiles across the 'lean and obese pig breeds' mentioned in the study description.

Strengths

• Data is recent, with a last update in March 2026.
• Includes specific biological markers like Clostridium_butyricum, butyrate, LPS, and Gram-negative bacteria.
• Released under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is extremely small at 2.6 KB, indicating very limited scope and likely summary-level data.
• No column definitions or sample data are available, hindering direct analytical use.
• The provenance details such as sample size, time range, and geography are unknown.
