Is Akkermansia muciniphila linked to Metabolic syndrome?

Akkermansia muciniphila is reduced in Metabolic syndrome. Evidence: moderate evidence. Reduced Akkermansia is a recurring feature; a pasteurized form improved metabolic markers in a human pilot trial.

Is Overall diversity linked to Metabolic syndrome?

Overall diversity is reduced in Metabolic syndrome. Evidence: moderate evidence. Lower diversity tracks the metabolic-syndrome cluster across populations.

Is Butyrate-producing bacteria linked to Metabolic syndrome?

Butyrate-producing bacteria is reduced in Metabolic syndrome. Evidence: moderate evidence. Fewer SCFA producers accompany the insulin-resistant, low-grade-inflammatory state.

Condition

Metabolic syndrome

19 associated organisms · The cluster of central obesity, high blood sugar, and dyslipidemia tracks reduced diversity and fewer barrier-supporting and butyrate-producing bacteria.

Symptoms of Metabolic syndrome can need medical evaluation. Treat these associations as background context only — please see a doctor rather than self-treating.
