The role of intestinal microbiota in the development of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease risk

Abstract

The aim of the study: to summarize the study results on the interaction between intestinal microbiota and the human body in terms of the risk for dyslipidemia and cardiovascular system diseases. Material and methods. A descriptive and comparative study was conducted based on the analysis of scientific literature focused on the role of intestinal microbiota in the occurrence of dyslipidemia and the development of cardiovascular diseases. The following research methods were used: search, comparative, analysis of scientific literature, generalization, synthesis. Results. Gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining health, and its pathology contributes to the risk for cardiovascular diseases. In some cases, monitoring the intestinal microbiota and the preventive use of pre- and probiotics can reduce the risk for developing cardiovascular system diseases. Conclusions. It has been found that trimethylamine-N-oxide, a microbiota-dependent metabolite, is the first of many existing bacterial products with the proven role in the development of cardiovascular system diseases.
