Abstract:Background
Vascular calcification is a common vascular lesion associated with high morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular events. Antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiota (GM) and have been shown to exacerbate or attenuate several human diseases. However, whether antibiotic-induced GM disruption affects vascular calcification remains unclear.
Methods
Antibiotic cocktail (ABX) treatment was utilized to test the potential effects of antibiotic… Show more
