About this Research Topic
In recent years, the landscape of public health is increasingly burdened by the rise of metabolic disorders, attributed to poor dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle. These metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, coalesce into major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases while also significantly heightening morbidity and mortality rates. Pervasive and escalating, these conditions underscore a critical need for a comprehensive understanding and novel interventional strategies.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the intricate interactions between the gut microbiota and metabolic disorders, hoping to elucidate the role of microbial metabolites as potential biomarkers and causative factors in metabolic dysfunction. By drawing links between gut microbiota dynamics and metabolic health, this topic seeks to push forward the boundaries of our current knowledge on how microbially-derived substances influence disease pathways and outcomes.
To ensure a thorough exploration of this vast field, the scope of this research will be carefully defined to cover key aspects while acknowledging inherent limitations due to the complexity of gut microbiome interactions. We welcome contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
• Advances in understanding the association between gut microbiota and its metabolites in metabolic disorders
• Novel potential metabolic disease-causing and disease-predicative microbial metabolite biomarkers
• Potential microbiota-based interventions in preventing and alleviating metabolic disorders
By focusing on these areas, the aim is to foster a richer, more detailed understanding of the metabolic implications of gut microbiota, ultimately contributing to better prevention and management strategies for metabolic disorders.
