Although dysbiosis has been linked to Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), the role of gut bacteria in this is largely unclear.
Koopen et al. 2021 Gut 71: 1577-1587

Recent research found gut microbiota disturbances. This is a risk factor. It can lead to Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).
Santos-Marcos et al. 2019 Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry 70: 1-27

The gut microbiome is crucial for fermenting indigestible foodstuffs into products that can be utilized by the intestine or modulate its function. For example, complex carbohydrates are converted into SCFAs
