Our design used a genetic vitamin A-deficient mouse model, the Rbp4^(-/-)mouse,feeding with the low vitamin A diets at different ages of initiation(4 or 7 weeks) for 28 days. Fecal samples were collected for bacterial profiling at seven time points after diet controlling. With Rbp4 depletion,Akkermansia decreased and Bacteroides increased, whereas Desulfovibrio, Barnesiella, Clostridium_Xl Va,and Lactobacillus fluctuated. The bacterial community swiftly adjusted with the vitamin A-deficient diet administration and gradually changed(e.g., decrease of Barnesiella and increase of Desulfovibrio). Age exerted a relatively weaker but long-last influence. At an earlier age to feed a vitamin A-deficient diet, a higher microbial dysbiosis index will be valued. Of note, the shaping effects of diet and age on the bacterial community varied with the difference of genotype, which might indicate a greater role of genotype than diet and age in shaping the gut microbiome.展开更多
