Relationships between gut microbiota, plasma metabolites, and metabolic syndrome traits in the METSIM cohort
Relationships between gut microbiota, plasma metabolites, and metabolic syndrome traits in the METSIM cohort
The gut microbiome is a complex and metabolically active community that directly influences host phenotypes. In this study, we profile gut microbiota using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in 531 well-phenotyped Finnish men from the Metabolic Syndrome In Men (METSIM) study.
