Transverse aortic constriction induces gut barrier alterations, microbiota remodeling and systemic inflammation

Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that modifications of gut function and microbiota composition might play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of several cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure (HF). In this study we systematically analysed gut microbiota composition, intestinal bar...
