Gut microbiota‑driven indole‑3‑propionic acid protects against sepsis‑associated encephalopathy via inhibiting BNIP3L ubiquitination and restoring BNIP3L‑dependent mitophagy as a potential molecular mechanism

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a severe refractory neurological complication occurring in up to 70% sepsis patients with no targeted therapies. Gut microbiota-derived indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a tryptophan metabolite, exerts neuroprotective effects, but its therap...
