Microbial pathogenesis

Changing metabolism and reproductive health through gut-brain system therapies based on the microbiome

Updated

Abstract

The gut microbiome is linked to metabolic and reproductive health issues, including obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

  • Gut dysbiosis, or an imbalanced microbiome, is associated with insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and systemic inflammation.
  • There is a noted coordination between dysbiosis and conditions such as obesity and PCOS.
  • Alterations in gut microbiota may contribute to menstrual dysfunction and exacerbate hormonal imbalances.
  • Probiotic therapy has shown potential benefits in improving insulin resistance and regulating menstrual cycles.
  • The findings suggest that addressing gut dysbiosis could be important for managing metabolic and reproductive health conditions.
