Article Synopsis
- - Hypertension affects about one-third of adults in the US and increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, with emerging studies suggesting that the gut microbiome and its short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are key in regulating kidney health.
- - A study using hypertensive mice explored how hydrogen sulfide (HS) affects SCFA receptors in the kidneys and gut, finding that HS treatment improved kidney function and altered gut microbiome composition.
- - The results indicated that host microRNAs play a role in regulating SCFA receptors, as hypertensive mice showed changes in inflammatory markers and kidney function improvements when treated with both Ang-II and HS.
