Processed data for: Lycium chinense leaf polysaccharide (LCP) modulates hepatic gluconeogenesis and reshapes gut microbiota in juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) under a high-starch diet

It contains eight summary tablesextracted from the doctoral dissertation (Fan, UMS 2026) and, fromVersion 2, four full-resolution matrices generated directly from theoriginal bioinformatics outputs.Experimental design: Juvenile largemouth bass were fed a low-starchcontrol (LS0, 10% starch) or high-starch diets (HS0, 20% starch, 0mg/kg LCP) supplemented with Lycium chinense leaf polysaccharides(LCP) at 300 (HS3), 900 (HS9), or 1500 (HS15) mg/kg; n = 3 fish pergroup.

Tissues analysed: liver (RNA-seq transcriptomics) and gutcontents (16S rRNA amplicon sequencing).Summary tables (01–08):01_DEG_key_carb_genes_Table5.17.csv — key carbohydrate-metabolismgene DEGs (Table 5.17).02_KEGG_47gene_enrichment_Table5.13.csv — KEGG enrichment of 47sugar-metabolism genes (Table 5.13).03_phylum_relative_abundance_Table6.1.csv — phylum-level relativeabundance (%) (Table 6.1).04_genus_relative_abundance_Table6.2.csv — genus-level relativeabundance (%) (Table 6.2).05_alpha_diversity_Table6.3.csv — alpha-diversity indices (Table 6.3).06_PERMANOVA_beta_Table6.4.csv — beta-diversity PERMANOVA (Table 6.4).07_unique_shared_OTUs_Table6.5.csv — unique/shared OTU counts (Table 6.5).08_PICRUSt2_pathway_Table6.6.csv — PICRUSt2 pathway prediction (Table 6.6).Full-resolution matrices (added in Version 2):M1_DEG_all_genes_DESeq2.csv — full DESeq2 output, 58,777 genes(baseMean + three pairwise contrasts: HS0_vs_LS0, HS3_vs_LS0,HS3_vs_HS0, each with log2FC, padj, regulation). log2FC usesthe (HS − LS) convention (negative = down-regulated).M2_OTU_relative_abundance_full.csv — complete OTU relative-abundancematrix, 4,657 OTUs × 15 samples (each sample sums to 100%).M3_beta_diversity_BrayCurtis_matrix.csv — 15 × 15 symmetricBray–Curtis distance matrix (diagonal = 0).M4_PICRUSt2_KO_abundance_full.csv — full PICRUSt2 KO table,7,688 KOs × 5 groups (each group sums to 1.0).Methods notes: OTU calling via UPARSE; taxonomy assigned against theSILVA 138 database; relative abundance expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3);alpha diversity compared by Kruskal–Wallis test; beta diversity byPERMANOVA (999 permutations) on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity; DEGs calledby DESeq2 at |log2FC| ≥ 1 and P < 0.05 (padj = BH-adjusted); PICRUSt2functional prediction from 16S rRNA, two-sided t-test at P < 0.05.Raw sequencing reads are not publicly deposited because the targetjournal's raw-sequence deposition policy was to be confirmed atsubmission; this processed dataset provides the complete analyticaloutputs required to reproduce the reported results.</p><h4 dir="ltr">License: CC-BY 4.0.</h4><p></p>
