Tarmbakterier kopplade till åderförkalkning

I en stor svensk studie har forskare upptäckt samband mellan ökade nivåer av vissa tarmbakterier och plack i kranskärlen, som i sin tur kan leda till hjärtinfarkt. Studien är gjord på 8973 personer i åldern 50–65 år, som är deltagare i SCAPIS. Forskningen är ledd från Uppsala universitet och Lunds universitet och resultaten publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Circulation.

Strong link between gut bacteria and metabolites

There are strong links between bacteria living in the gut and the levels of small molecules in the blood known as metabolites. Such is the finding of a new study (Uppsala University/Lund University). The study is based on analyses of both fecal and blood samples from 8,583 participants in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS).
