Gut microbiota is different before the development of preeclampsia
Despite a limited sample size, this study demonstrates numerous taxonomic and functional alterations in the gut microbiota composition. However, a clear signature to identify women at high risk of developing late-onset PE remains to be uncovered. The species-level data indicate that the regulation of blood pressure by the gut microbiota in pregnancy is complex and needs further investigation.
