Association of Increased Serum Lipopolysaccharide, But Not Microbial Dysbiosis, With <scp>Obesity‐Related</scp> Osteoarthritis

Abstract

The lack of differences in the gut microbiota, but increased serum LPS levels, suggest the possibility that increased intestinal permeability allowing for greater absorption of LPS, rather than a dysbiotic microbiota, may contribute to the development of OA associated with obesity.
