But the proportion of muscle lost vs fat lost matters greatly
First, using germ-free animals, directional microbiota transplantation, and gene editing techniques to clarify the causal mechanisms by which protective genera such as Bifidobacterium regulate the hepcidin-FPN1 axis and key molecules of chondrocyte ferroptosis (GPX4, SLC7A11), thereby consolidating the logical chain of microbiota-iron metabolism-cell death. Second, leveraging longitudinal cohorts and multi-omics technologies to reveal the time-dependent evolution of the gut dysbiosis-iron overload-ferroptosis-intestinal dysfunction cycle and identify key windows for early intervention
Cautions include history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and diabetic retinopathy (particularly with semaglutide)
