Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a composite of cardiometabolic risk factors, including obesity,
dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance, with a range of secondary sequelae such
as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and diastolic heart failure. This syndrome has been
identified as one of the greatest global health challenges of the 21st century. Herein, we
examine whether a porcine model of diet-and mineralocorticoid-induced MetS closely
mimics the cardiovascular, metabolic, gut microbiota, and functional metataxonomic …
