Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the intestinal microbiota diversity among adolescents with obesity and those with normal weight, focusing on different ethnic groups, specifically Russians and Buryats.
- - Researchers utilized metasequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to evaluate alpha diversity using several statistical indices, revealing significant differences in microbiota between the groups studied.
- - Findings suggest that alpha diversity indices are useful for assessing variations in intestinal microbiota linked to complex conditions like adolescent obesity, although careful consideration of their application is necessary.
