Microorganisms in the digestive tract may help reduce heart disease risk by helping the body process cholesterol, a new study suggests.
Research identifies multiple types of bacteria that metabolize cholesterol in individuals with reduced cholesterol levels. Alterations in the gut microbiome are associated with a range of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease. Now, a team of researchers at th
Researchers discovered that certain bacteria species called Oscillibacter can consume cholesterol in the gut and lower the risk of heart disease in individuals.
Species in the human microbiome have enzymes that can metabolize a potentially dangerous lipid. Species in the human microbiome have enzymes that can metabolize a potentially dangerous lipid.
