Abstract
The gut microbiota is important in the development and progression of metabolic illnesses such type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and obesity. This diverse community of microorganisms controls a variety of physiological functions, including metabolism, inflammation, and immune response. Understanding these interactions has resulted in novel therapeutic options, including microbiome supplementation. The gut microbiome is extremely susceptible to dietary changes, which can alter its makeup and function, influencing metabolite synthesis that affects host health. Certain metabolites, such as butyrate and propionate, have been proven to protect against metabolic illnesses, whereas trimethylamine has been linked to CVD. Prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics are being investigated by researchers as ways to change the gut microbiome and boost metabolic health. Despite advances in therapy and lifestyle adjustments, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing, emphasizing the need for new medicines.
期刊介绍:
The WJD is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJD is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of diabetes. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJD is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJD are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in diabetes. Scope: Diabetes Complications, Experimental Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes, Gestational, Diabetic Angiopathies, Diabetic Cardiomyopathies, Diabetic Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetic Neuropathies, Donohue Syndrome, Fetal Macrosomia, and Prediabetic State.
