Abstract in brief

  • The article explores how gut microbiota influences cholesterol metabolism and its connection to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, emphasizing that bacteria and their metabolites can affect health beyond digestion.
  • Key microbial metabolites like bile acids, TMAO, and SCFAs are discussed for their roles in maintaining or disrupting heart health, with potential to be targeted through diet, medication, or probiotics.
  • The review highlights the need for more research to understand how these microbial interactions work mechanisms and considers the possibility of using microbiome-based therapies to treat high cholesterol and prevent CVD.]
