Gut Microbiota and Clinical Disease: Obesity and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity can cause hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Many environmental or genetic factors have been suggested to contribute to the development of obesity, but there is no satisfactory explanation for its increased prevalence. This review discusses the latest updates on the role of the gut microbiota in obesity and NAFLD.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and the Gut Microbiota: Exploring the Connection
As the gut microbiota continues to be implicated in an increasing number of disease processes, a plethora of new literature surrounding its complexity and role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis has become available. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common nonviral liver disease worldwide and a number of predisposing risk factors for NAFLD have been identif...
متن کاملGut microbiota and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Recent evidence has linked obesity and the metabolic syndrome with gut dysbiota. The precise mechanisms underlying that association are not entirely understood; however, microbiota can enhance the extraction of energy from diet and regulate whole-body metabolism towards increased fatty acids uptake from adipose tissue and shift lipids metabolism from oxidation to de novo production. Obesity and...
متن کاملGut Microbiota and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Insights on Mechanisms and Therapy
The gut microbiota plays critical roles in development of obese-related metabolic diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), type 2 diabetes(T2D), and insulin resistance(IR), highlighting the potential of gut microbiota-targeted therapies in these diseases. There are various ways that gut microbiota can be manipulated, including through use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics,...

Gut microbiota are intricately involved in the development of obesity-related metabolic diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. In the current review, we discuss the role of gut microbiota in the development of NAFLD by focusing on the mechanisms of gut microbiota-mediated host energy metabolism, insulin resistance, regulation of bile ...
متن کاملNonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Children: Role of the Gut Microbiota
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as the most common cause of liver disease among children and adolescents in industrialized countries due to increasing prevalence of obesity. It is generally recognized that both genetic and environmental risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Convincing evidences have shown that gut microbiota alteration is associated with NAF...
