Gut microbiota dysbiosis orchestrates vitiligo-related oxidative stress through the metabolite hippuric acid

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo, a depigmenting autoimmune skin disease characterized by melanocyte dysfunction or death, is known to be associated with an imbalance in gut microbiota. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. However, the complex promising interaction between abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the skin and gut microbiota has remained unclear. RESULTS:...
