Mouse Gut Microbiota and Metabolite Data from a 17-Week Obesity Study

A 17-week study of C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with Portulaca oleracea polysaccharide. The dataset includes analyzed obesity-related parameters, gut microbiota profiles, and serum metabolomics. It was authored by Qiang Fu and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Correlating specific gut microbiota genera with obesity-related indices based on the described analysis.
• Investigating the relationship between altered metabolites like LacCer (d18:1/12:0) and metabolic health markers.
• Modeling the impact of polysaccharide supplementation on the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in a mouse model.
• Exploring host-microbiome interactions in diet-induced obesity based on the combined microbiota and metabolomics data.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific 17-week experimental protocol described in the study.
• Analysis includes multiple data types: obesity parameters, gut microbiota diversity, and serum metabolomics.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 2.2 KB, indicating limited scope or summary-level data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical modeling.
