Heatmap showed the relative abundance of microbial genera in the mice of four groups. “*” represents p < 0.05 in comparison with control group; and “**” represents p < 0.01 in comparison with the control group. “+” represents p < 0.05 in comparison with CGM; and “++” represents p < 0.01 in comparison with CGM. CT: control group; HFD: high-fat diet group; MSU: MSU crystals injection group; CGM: the compound gout model group
