Mouse Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Data for FMT Study

Underlying data for Figs 2–9 from a study on fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in obese mice. The dataset, authored by Masato Kawashima and shared under CC-BY-4.0, includes physical and metabolic parameters, gut microbial composition, and cecal short-chain fatty acid levels from donor and recipient mice. It was last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Compare gut microbial composition changes based on donor intervention groups (exercise, inulin)
• Analyze correlations between short-chain fatty acid levels and metabolic parameters
• Evaluate the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation on obesity-related phenotypes
• Model the impact of persistent high-fat high-sugar diet on microbial colonization

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to published figures (Figs 2–9), supporting reproducibility.
• Includes multiple data types: physical parameters, metabolic profiles, microbial composition, and biochemical assays.
• Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (287.7 KB), indicating limited scope.
