Research Article: Gut microbiota mediated the therapeutic efficiency of Simiao decoction in the treatment of gout arthritis mice

Date Published: 2023-07-17

Abstract:
Gut microbiota plays a significant role in the development and treatment of gouty arthritis. Simiao decoction has been shown to alleviate gouty arthritis by inhibiting inflammation, regulating NLRP3 inflammasome, and altering gut microbiota. However, there is no evidence to prove whether gut microbiota directly mediates the therapeutic efficiency of Simiao decoction in treating gout arthritis.

Introduction:
Gout is a prevalent type of inflammatory arthritis that occurs due to the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU). This condition is directly linked to hyperuricemia, which is caused by the disruptions in purine metabolism and/or decreased uric acid excretion [1]. In Mainland China, the prevalence of gout is 1.6%, with higher rates observed in males (1.9%) than in females (0.5%) [2]. Gout arthritis is characterized by recurrent attacks and typically involve joint inflammation, including redness, swelling, heat, and…
