Distinguishing feature of gut microbiota in Tibetan highland coronary artery disease patients and its link with diet

Abstract The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Tibetan Highlanders is lower than that in plain-living individuals, but the mechanism still unclear. Gut microbiota (GM) disorder is considered one of the potential factors involved in the pathogenesis of CAD, but the GM characteristics of...
