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 …

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 …

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 intestinal microbiota and insulin sensitivity are rapidly altered after ingestion of
obesogenic diets. We find that changes in the composition of the fecal microbiota precede …

The gut microbiota is proposed as a “metabolic organ” involved in energy utilization and is
associated with obesity. Dietary intervention is one of the approaches for obesity …

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 …

Objective Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in host energy homeostasis, which is affected
by both high-fat diets (HFDs) and high-sucrose diets (HCDs). Probiotics treatment can …

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 …

Accumulating evidence suggests that high-fat diet (HFD) induced metabolic disorders are
associated with dysbiosis of gut microbiota. However, no study has explored the effect of …

Background It is well known that the microbiota of high-fat (HF) diet-induced obese mice
differs from that of lean mice, but to what extent, this difference reflects the obese state or the …
