Gut Microbiome-Generated Phenylacetylglutamine from Dietary Protein is Associated with Crohn’s Disease and Exacerbates Colitis in Mouse Model Possibly via Platelet Activation

Abstract

Taken together, ppdc-carrying Proteobacteria-generated PAGln from dietary protein is associated with CD and exacerbates colitis possibly via platelet-induced coagulation and inflammation These results suggest that PAGln is a potential early diagnostic marker and therapeutic target of CD.
