Gut microbiota phenotypes of obesity

Gut microbiota and obesity (microbiota, obesity, prebiotics)

Obesity, Diabetes, and Gut Microbiota

The connection between gut microbiota and energy homeostasis and inflammation and its role in the pathogenesis of obesity-related disorders are increasingly recognized. Animals models of obesity connect an altered microbiota composition to the development of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes in the host through several mechanisms: increased energy harvest from the diet, altered fatty ac...

Worldwide trends in scientific publications on association of gut microbiota with obesity

Objective(s): Recent evidence has shown underlying roles of gut dysbiosis and metabolic endotoxemia in obesity and its complications. Despite the large number of experimental and clinical researches performed on gut microbiota and obesity, no bibliometrics’ study has been conducted so far. We aimed to assess the trend of global scientific publications in the field of gut microbiota and obesity....

Gut microbiota and the development of obesity.

INTRODUCTION Advances in tools for molecular investigations have allowed deeper understanding of how microbes can influence host physiology. A very interesting field of research that has gained attention recently is the possible role of gut microbiota in the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to discuss mechanisms that explain the influence of ...
