Article Synopsis
- - Vascular calcification is a serious health issue linked to high rates of cardiovascular problems, and the role of antibiotics in affecting this condition through gut microbiota disruption is still uncertain.
- - In studies using antibiotic treatments, researchers found that antibiotics worsened vascular calcification in mice by decreasing certain beneficial gut bacteria and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the body.
- - Adding acetate was shown to help reduce calcium deposits in blood vessels and prevent the transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells into bone-like cells, with its effects possibly linked to specific metabolic processes involving glutathione.
