Abstract:The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in various physiological functions such as the production of essential compounds like short-chain fatty acids and vitamins, as well as in controlling inflammation, immune response, and maintaining intestinal barrier integrity. The imbalance in microbial composition, termed dysbiosis, is closely associated with both the pathogenesis of obesity and the development of obesity-related metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Dysbiosis leads t… Show more
