Plasma biomarkers of dairy intake and gut microbiome, and their association with incident carotid plaque: a prospective cohort study
Our results suggest that plasma OCFAs, as objective biomarkers of dairy exposure, are inversely associated with CAP incidence in a Chinese cohort. Further exploration indicates that gut microbiota may be involved in the above association, providing a potential gut microbiota-based intervention target for atherosclerosis.
