Article Synopsis
- - The gut microbiota is crucial for regulating energy balance and immune responses, and imbalances in this microbiota (dysbiosis) can lead to metabolic issues like obesity and insulin resistance.
- - Dysbiosis can disrupt the intestinal barrier and alter the production of hormones linked to hunger, potentially encouraging overeating.
- - Ongoing research highlights the need for further exploration of how modifying gut microbiota could serve as a therapeutic approach for treating metabolic disorders related to obesity.
