Abstract | Consistent research over the last 20 years has shown that there are clear sex differences in the pathogenesis of hypertension, the leading risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. More recently, there is evidence in both humans and experimental animal models that causally implicates the gut microbiota in hypertension. It therefore follows that sex differences in the gut microbiota may mediate the extent of disease between sexes. This new field is rapidly changing and advancing, and the purpose of this review is to cover the most up-to-date evidence regarding the sexual dimorphism of the gut microbiota and its potential influence on the differential manifestation of hypertension in males versus females. Emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms thought to contribute to these sex differences in both the gut microbiota and hypertension, including sex steroid hormones, gut-derived metabolites, the immune system, and pregnancy. |
