Uncovering the Role of Gut Microbiota in Amino Acid Metabolic Disturbances in Heart Failure Through Metagenomic Analysis
Aims: Circulating amino acid (AA) abnormalities serve as predictors of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the role of the gut microbiota in AA disturbances remains unknown. Thus, we investigated gut microbial functions and their associations with AA metabolic alterations...
