Efficacy of Synbiotic Supplementation on IL-10, TGF-B and Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Dysregulation of normal flora leads to dysbiosis, which has recently been investigated as an important internal environmental factor and has been proven to be associated with both active and remission phases of SLE, and can be used to predict disease activity. Administration of synbiotics is expected to restore mucosal barrier function and create an anti-inflammatory environment in the gut, by suppressing pro-inflammatory factors and increasing anti-inflammatory factors (IL-10 and TGF-β), leading to improved disease activity in SLE patients.
