Core Tip
Core Tip: Dyslipidemia is the circulating lipid expression of metabolic syndrome, and alterations of gut microbiota (GM) are indicated to participate in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemia; however, little evidence was found in the literature on sex differences for these associations. Our results demonstrated the GM features in different dyslipidemia subgroups in females and males, suggesting a complex interaction between GM and lipid metabolism. Our observations may provide new evidence that different GM taxa may be associated with distinct lipids, and that GM may affect specific aspects of lipid metabolism. More studies are required to propose specific taxa that have the potential to ameliorate dyslipidemia.
