Abstract

Role of Gut Microbiota-Bile Acid Pathway in the Pathogenesis of Cardiovascular Diseases?

Yuxiong Chen, Yiyang Wang and Haitao Niu*

The importance of gut microbial metabolites has been implicated in the development of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). One key aspect in which the gut microbiota gets involved is bile acid metabolism. This mini-review was to summarize how the gut microbiota-bile acid pathway contributes to CVDs and how modulating gut microbiota can serve as a potential therapeutic target.
