Probiotics in Metabolic Disorder Treatment
Metabolic disorders affect critical pathways in human biochemistry, leading to conditions like type 2 diabetes, where blood glucose levels regularly exceed 180 mg/dL, or hyperuricemia, where serum uric acid rises above 7.0 mg/dL. These disruptions often stem from complex interactions between genetic predisposition, diet, and alterations in the gut microbiome.
The challenge lies in developing targeted probiotic interventions that can modulate specific metabolic pathways while maintaining stability and viability through the digestive tract.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including engineered Lactobacillus strains for glucose regulation, bacteria expressing therapeutic proteins for autoimmune diabetes, and novel probiotic delivery systems for treating hyperuricemia. These and other approaches focus on practical therapeutic applications that can be translated into clinical treatments for metabolic disorders.
