INTERACTION BETWEEN OBESITY AND GUT MICROBIOTA: NEW APPROACHES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY
Abstract
Obesity is a serious health problem and is associated with many physiological and mental disorders, including diabetes, stroke, and depression. Gut microbiota is considered important in the development of metabolic diseases and obesity, as well as in maintaining energy homeostasis and host immunity. In recent years, scientific research has increasingly provided evidence linking obesity to the gut microbiota. Regulation of the gut microbiota is being considered as a new method of obesity treatment. However, the complex interactions among genetics, environment, gut microbiota, and obesity have not been fully elucidated
