Gut Microbiota and Its Metabolites Modulate Pregnancy Outcomes by Regulating Placental Autophagy and Ferroptosis
7 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
During pregnancy, the regulation of autophagy and ferroptosis dynamically supports placental development and fetal health. Both processes-autophagy, clearing damaged organelles to maintain placental function, and ferroptosis, driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-are involved in pathological conditions such as preeclampsia. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota-derived metabolites act as key...
