The Role of Gut Microbiota in the Mechanism of Helicobacter pylori Eradication-Induced Amelioration of Metabolic Syndrome-Related Parameters Study Sponsor: Nanjing First Hospital Principal Investigator: Dr. Wanli Liu Department: Gastroenterology Study Duration: February 2025 - August 2025 Key Information for Patients and Families 1. What is this study about? This study aims to understand how treating a common stomach infection caused by Helicobacter pylori (Hp) might improve metabolic health issues like high blood sugar, cholesterol problems, or obesity (collectively called metabolic syndrome).
