The Microbiome-Gut-Gonad Axis: How Microbial Metabolites Orchestrate Reproductive Physiology, Pathology, and Therapy.

The human microbiome, a dynamic endocrine organ, exerts profound systemic influence through the production of bioactive metabolites. While the microbiome-gut-brain axis is well-established, the direct conduit between the gut microbiota …

Suggestive associations between genetically predicted gut microbiota and endometriosis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about whether reported …

Orchestrating the gut microbiota-mitochondrial-immune axis in gynecological diseases: mechanisms and dual-targeting therapeutic strategies.

The "gut microbiota-mitochondria axis" has become the core hub connecting the metabolism, immunity, and endocrine regulation of gynecological diseases. In this review, the hierarchical regulation mechanism of this axis is …

Hormonal Imbalance and Gut Dysbiosis: Emerging Perspectives in Women's Health.

The gut microbiota plays a crucial function in reproductive well-being and is vital for maintaining fundamental physiological balance. This article surveys the mutual relationships between the gut flora and the …

Exploring the potential of gut microbiota metabolites in the treatment of endometriosis through network pharmacology and Mendelian randomization.

Studies have shown that dysregulation of the gut microbiota (GM) plays a crucial role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). Study aimed to investigate the potential of protective GM metabolites …

Gut microbiota and diet in endometriosis: a missing link in therapy?

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in endometriosis: mechanistic insights and gut microbiota-targeted therapeutic strategies.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation and proliferation of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally. Despite …

Parabacteroides goldsteinii and its metabolite 7-KLCA attenuate endometriosis via TGR5 to reprogram macrophages by modulating the PPARγ/GPR132 axis.

Endometriosis (EMS) remains understudied in effective management strategies. The interplay between macrophage dysfunction and microbiota-derived immune signals emerges as a potential mechanism in EMS pathogenesis, suggesting its relevance for future …

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization integrating metabolism, microbiome and immunity supports a putative gut-immune-pelvic pathway in deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a highly fibrotic and deeply invasive subtype of endometriosis that causes severe pelvic pain, infertility and marked impairment of quality of life. Metabolic, microbial and …

Gut microbiota-associated immunomodulation contributes to the protective effects of fluvastatin against endometriosis in a mouse model, accompanied by increased Akkermansia muciniphila abundance.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tumor-like growth behavior and limited therapeutic options. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to EMs progression by promoting chronic …
