Abstract
Contemporary scientific discussions are increasingly focusing on Akkermansia muciniphila due to its complex influence on intestinal physiology. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the various effects Akkermansia muciniphila has on intestinal inflammation, while also exploring its potential associations with obesity and cardiovascular diseases. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate with the following keywords: Akkermansia muciniphila, obesity, cardiovascular risk, and inflammatory bowel diseases. The aim of our mini-review was to examine the impact of Akkermansia bacteria on the intestines, cardiovascular system, and its relationship with obesity. Through a detailed review of current literature, the article seeks to elucidate the complex interactions of Akkermansia muciniphila within the human body, highlighting its potential contributions to health improvement and medical interventions. Research indicates that Akkermansia muciniphila positively correlates with maintaining intestinal health, modulating the cardiovascular system, and aiding in weight management. However, the number of studies available is small, and the effects of Akkermansia muciniphila on human health require further research.
