“…In recent decades, the maturity of high-throughput sequencing and multi-omics techniques has greatly expanded our knowledge of microbial communities in a complex environment and has made it possible to clarify the interactions between gut microbiota and host metabolism homeostasis. The gut microbiota regulates the metabolism of glucolipids ( Yin et al., 2018 ), amino acids ( Kawase et al., 2017 ; Zhang et al., 2020 ), vitamins ( Caesar, 2019 ), bile acids ( Ramírez-Pérez et al., 2018 ), and other nutrients ( Pathak et al., 2020 ) through the microbiota–gut–brain axis ( Carabotti et al., 2015 ). Conversely, the dysbiosis of gut microbiota leads to metabolic diseases, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease (hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and hypertension), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, gout, and hyperuricemia ( Fan et al., 2018 ; Liu et al., 2020 ; Mandal and Mount, 2015 ; Mendes-Soares et al., 2019 ; Novoseletskyi, 2013 ).…”
