Fecal metaproteome profiles of celiac disease patients with poly-autoimmunity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Twenty-eight subjects were selected for the study from among celiac disease patients regularly followed at the Medical Clinic of the University of Sassari. Celiac disease (CD) was diagnosed according to international guidelines. Patients were divided into two groups of 14 subjects based on the presence or absence of additional autoimmune diseases. Only autoimmune diseases confirmed by a specialist's certification were considered for the study. Further inclusion criteria included a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 25 kg/m², a gluten-free diet (GFD) duration of one year or more, and an age between 18 and 60 years. Exclusion criteria were: (i) use of antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics in the 3 months prior to enrollment; (ii) a vegetarian or vegan diet; (iii) a history of malignancy, pregnancy, alcohol abuse, or drug addiction. Following a clinical evaluation, each patient provided a fecal sample. Additionally, three questionnaires were collected concerning: i) anamnestic and anthropometric data, ii) gastrointestinal symptoms, and iii) dietary habits and lifestyle.
