Aberrations in gut microbiota are associated with metabolic disorders, including obesity.
However, whether shifts in the microbiota profile during obesity are a characteristic of the …

Concern about health risks associated with rising obesity has become nearly universal, with
the mean body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of obese and overweight individuals …

The gut microbiota is involved in many aspects of host physiology but its role in body weight
and glucose metabolism remains unclear. Here we studied the compositional changes of …

OBJECTIVE To investigate deep and comprehensive analysis of gut microbial communities
and biological parameters after prebiotic administration in obese and diabetic mice …

A number of studies have associated obesity with altered gut microbiota, although results
are discordant regarding compositional changes in the gut microbiota of obese animals …

The gut microbiota is emerging as a new factor in the development of obesity. Many studies
have described changes in microbiota composition in response to obesity and high fat diet …

Evidence suggests that altered gut microbiota composition may be involved in the
development of obesity. Studies using mice made obese with refined high-fat diets have …

Obesity is underpinned by both genetic and environmental factors, including a high-
saturated-fat diet. Some mice develop diet-induced obesity (DIO), but others remain diet …

The gut microbiota has emerged as an environmental factor that modulates the host's
energy balance. It increases the host's ability to harvest energy from the digested food, and …

Objective The gut microbiota is an important influencing factor of metabolic health. Although
dietary interventions with probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics can be effective means to …
