Changes in the gut microbiome during fasting‐induced molting and its effects on gut–liver function
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.During fasting, harmful microbiota and metabolites rise, triggering intestinal injury and activation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway, which enhances intestinal stem cell proliferation. Concurrently, hepatic function declines, indicated by increased hepatic and serum bile acids and upregulation of the non‐classical bile acid synthesis pathway.
