Summary

Gut Dysbiosis had been involved in some way in the pathogenesis of some extra-intestinal disorders including metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

Detailed description

Accumulating evidence had linked metabolic syndrome and diabetes to dysequilibrium in gut microbiota, which are a critical regulator of host metabolism and immune responses. gut microbiota interacts with host signaling pathways, leading to modulation of the endocrine system, immune responses. gut microbial metabolites, in particular, short-chain fatty acids, have been significantly associated with liability to diabetes. patients with positive fecal short-chain fatty acids will be given rifaximin
