Modulation of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids by probiotics attenuates inflammation in endometriosis

Probiotic intervention alleviates systemic inflammation in endometriosis by reshaping the gut microbiota structure, enhancing microbial network stability, and modulating the SCFA metabolism. Our findings underscore the role of the gut microbiota-metabolism-immunity axis in EMs pathophysiology and point to 4-MVA as a hypothesis-generating candidate metabolite that requires further validation.
