Association Between Altered Gut Microbiota and Acne Vulgaris: A Comparative Study of Trimethylamine N-Oxide Levels in Patients and Healthy Controls
This study identified elevated serum TMAO levels in acne vulgaris patients, suggesting a potential link between gut dysbiosis, diet, and acne pathogenesis. While these findings emphasize the role of systemic inflammation and microbiota, further research is necessary to establish causal relationships and to evaluate the impact of dietary and microbial interventions in acne management.
