🦠 腸道菌不只影響消化!還可能是心臟、腎臟健康的「預警員」!
🔬 國家衛生研究院研究發現,腸道微菌相的變化,可能與心臟、腎臟健康及疾病風險有關。
📌 研究重點
1️⃣ 好菌減少,可能與腎臟健康有關
▶️研究分析 990 名受試者,發現糖尿病腎病變患者腸道中的 Gemmiger 菌屬明顯減少。
▶️這類細菌能產生短鏈脂肪酸,例如具有抗發炎作用的丁酸。
▶️菌量下降與尿蛋白指標惡化有關。
2️⃣ 腸道菌也與心臟健康有關
▶️某些腸道菌可能產生有益代謝物。
▶️克雷伯氏菌等潛在有害菌增加,可能與發炎及心臟結構惡化風險有關。
3️⃣ 肺部菌群也值得關注
▶️研究發現,部分非結核分枝桿菌肺病患者病情惡化時,肺部菌群多樣性會下降。
▶️微菌相未來有望協助評估疾病風險。

🦠 Gut bacteria do more than just aid digestion. They may also serve as “early warning signs” for heart and kidney health!
🔬 Research from the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) has revealed that changes in the gut microbiome may be linked to heart and kidney health, as well as the risk of developing related diseases.
📌 Key Research Findings
1️⃣ A decline in “good” bacteria may be linked to kidney health
▶️ A study of 990 participants found a significant reduction in the genus Gemmiger within the gut microbiomes of patients with diabetic nephropathy.
▶️ These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
▶️ A decrease in these bacteria is associated with worsening markers of proteinuria (protein in the urine).
2️⃣ Gut bacteria are also linked to heart health
▶️ Certain gut bacteria can produce beneficial metabolites.
▶️ An increase in potentially harmful bacteria, such as Klebsiella, may be associated with inflammation and an elevated risk of deterioration in heart structure.
3️⃣ The lung microbiome also warrants attention
▶️ The study found that in some patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease, a decline in the diversity of the lung microbiome coincides with a worsening of their condition.
▶️ In the future, microbiome analysis could potentially assist in assessing disease risk.
人體內外棲息數以萬億計微生物,不僅參與生理機能調節,國家衛生研究院研究發現,有些細菌可能是好幫手,是示警心臟、腎臟及肺部等健康狀態「前哨站」,透過分析微菌相變化,有助從被動吃藥走向主動預防。 微生物廣.....
