Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a leading modifiable risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

  • The gut microbiota plays a critical role in regulating lipid levels through various mechanisms.
  • Dietary components, probiotics, and prebiotics may influence gut microbiota and lipid homeostasis.
  • Underexplored factors such as circadian rhythms and population-specific microbial signatures may impact dyslipidemia management.
  • Addressing these factors could enhance the application of microbiome research in treating dyslipidemia.
