Disturbances in the gut microbiota potentially associated with metabolic syndrome among patients living with HIV-1 and on antiretroviral therapy at Bafoussam Regional Hospital, Cameroon
This preliminary study highlights that gut microbial balance, rather than the presence of specific bacteria, plays a crucial role in managing metabolic health in patients living with HIV-1. The altered gut microbiota in participants with metabolic syndrome emphasizes the need for further research into the optimal gut microbial structure. Understanding the interaction between gut microbiota changes and the chemical environment in these patients could guide targeted interventions to improve metabolic outcomes.
