The composition of the gut microbiome is hypothesized to be an environmental factor that contributes to obesity. Results of several human studies suggest that obesity is associated with differences in the gut microbiota composition, reduced bacterial diversity, and altered representation of bacterial ...
Among the risk factors contributing to obesity, human gut microbiome recently emerges with unprecedented intimacy in host metabolism and inflammation. With the advances in sequencing technology, more and more detailed understandings towards the intricate relationships linking gut microbiome and obesity have ...
Obesity and obesity-related metabolic disorders are characterized by specific alterations in the composition and function of the human gut microbiome. Mechanistic studies have indicated that the gastrointestinal microbiota can influence both sides of the energy balance equation; namely, as a factor ...
Further characterization of the link between the gut microbiome and obesity has revealed several bacterial groups that may specifically contribute to the disease. In particular, obese individuals have a high baseline Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio. In these subjects, reduction of caloric intake was ...
Zhao L. The gut microbiota and obesity: from correlation to causality. Nat Rev Microbiol. 2013;11:639–47.PubMed 26. Hildebrandt MA, Hoffmann C, Sherrill-Mix SA, Keilbaugh SA, Hamady M, Chen Y-Y, et al. High-fat diet determines the composition of the murine gut microbiome independently...
Gut microbiota dysbiosis has a significant role in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including obesity. Nuciferine (NUC) is a main bioactive component in the lotus leaf that has been used as food in China since ancient times. Here, we examined whet
A search performed on August 2019 in the databases Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Lilacs and gray literature using the terms: "microbiota", "microbiome", "obesity", "obesity morbid", and "humans". Studies assessing the gut microbiota composition in adults with obesity and ...
and inflammatory disorders of the host is still unclear [13]. In this review, we explore the complex mechanisms that link lipid metabolism, inflammation, insulin signaling, and obesity (Fig.1). We also discuss the influence of the gut microbiota in the onset of obesity and metabolic diseases ...
Gastric bypass surgery in a rat model alters the community structure and functional composition of the intestinal microbiota independently of weight loss. Obesity is a serious health problem worldwide leading to estimated costs of about $ 150 billion in the Unites States alone1. To treat morbid ob...
The precise mix of microbes in your gut directly influences your health. This is because some microbes are beneficial and others harmful. Tipping the balance in favor of harmful species can contribute to a number of health conditions, includingobesityandautoimmune diseases. ...
