5A-1MQ-treated mice switched from WD to LD (WD/LD-T) showed a rather reduced relative abundance of Akkermansia compared to vehicle-treated DIO animals switched from WD to LD (WD/LD-V), suggesting a unique microbiome mechanism associated with weight loss in the vehicle-treated group switched from WD to LD compared to the 5A-1MQ-treated group that underwent the same diet switch
