Conserved Shifts in the Gut Microbiota Due to Gastric Bypass Reduce Host Weight and Adiposity
Alice P. Liou,Melissa Paziuk,Jesus-Mario Luevano,Sriram Machineni,Peter J. Turnbaugh,Lee M. Kaplan +5 more
TL;DR: Findings provide the first empirical support for the claim that changes in the gut microbiota contribute to reduced host weight and adiposity after RYGB surgery, and suggest new approaches to the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases that harness the ability of the Gut microbiota to influence host metabolic physiology.

Compositions of microbiota and methods related thereto
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide methods and compositions for treating weight related conditions and metabolic disorders by altering microbiota in a subject by administering to the subject a composition that includes a substantially purified microbiota from phyla such as Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Verrucomicrobia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic exposure promotes fat gain.
Alice P. Liou,Peter J. Turnbaugh +1 more
TL;DR: Using mice to demonstrate that subtherapeutic antibiotic treatment promotes adiposity, Cho et al. (2012) suggests that obesity may be influenced not only by dietary and genetic risk factors, but also by the trillions of microorganisms inhabiting the authors' gastrointestinal tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
