Dietary Fats and the Gut Microbiota: Their impacts on lipid-induced metabolic syndrome

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) produces low-grade inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, platelet hyperactivity, oxidative stress and ultimately contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Fatty acids such as n-3 n-6, monounsaturated, conjugated, highly unsaturated, short-chain types, their metabolism can impact the development of MetS associated features. Furthermore, quality quantity dietary fats influence gut microbiota composition that alters an individual's health. modulates components via different mechanisms. swing host balance in energy homeostasis, motility, appetite, lipid carbohydrate metabolism, fat storage liver. In addition, impairment microbial population by a high-fat diet lead systemic inflammation insulin resistance. review summarizes impacts on interactions with modulating risk factors syndrome. .
