Estrobolome Influence

Meaning

Estrobolome Influence refers to the collective functional capacity of the gut microbiota to modulate the enterohepatic circulation and systemic levels of estrogens within the host. The estrobolome encompasses the bacterial genes and enzymes, notably beta-glucuronidase, that deconjugate liver-metabolized estrogens, allowing them to be reabsorbed from the intestinal lumen back into the bloodstream. This critical interaction significantly impacts the total active estrogen load in the body.
