Gut microbiota: a potential manipulator for host adipose tissue and energy metabolism
Gut bacteria may influence body fat and energy use
AI simplified
Abstract
The gut microbiota may influence host energy metabolism and fat storage through mechanisms associated with short-chain fatty acids and lipopolysaccharides.
- Gut microbiota typically supports host health but can negatively affect physiology in cases like obesity.
- Short-chain fatty acids and lipopolysaccharides are microbial products linked to processes such as fat storage and energy use.
- Probiotics may help prevent or reduce conditions like obesity, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome.
