Abstract
The gut microbiota is a complex community of microorganisms that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract, helping to maintain the ecological balance of the body's internal and external environments. Disruptions in the composition and diversity of gut microbiota, as well as changes in their metabolic functions, can link to the development and severity of conditions such as premature ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, and ovarian tumors. This article thoroughly reviews recent research on the connection between gut microbiota and ovarian diseases, providing fresh perspectives on their prevention, pathogenesis, and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Ovarian Research is an open access, peer reviewed, online journal that aims to provide a forum for high-quality basic and clinical research on ovarian function, abnormalities, and cancer. The journal focuses on research that provides new insights into ovarian functions as well as prevention and treatment of diseases afflicting the organ.
Topical areas include, but are not restricted to:
Ovary development, hormone secretion and regulation
Follicle growth and ovulation
Infertility and Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Regulation of pituitary and other biological functions by ovarian hormones
Ovarian cancer, its prevention, diagnosis and treatment
Drug development and screening
Role of stem cells in ovary development and function.
