Journal ArticleDOI
Short-chain Fatty Acids in Control of Body Weight and Insulin Sensitivity
TL;DR: This Review discusses the effects of three SCFA on energy homeostasis and metabolism, as well as how these SCFA can beneficially modulate adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver tissue function and the increasing evidence for a potential role of SCFA as metabolic targets to prevent and counteract obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calorie Restriction-like Effects of 30 Days of Resveratrol Supplementation on Energy Metabolism and Metabolic Profile in Obese Humans

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 30 days of resveratrol supplementation induces metabolic changes in obese humans, mimicking the effects of calorie restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut microbial metabolites in obesity, NAFLD and T2DM.
TL;DR: The role of gut microbial metabolites derived from carbohydrate fermentation and protein fermentation in body weight control, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus is explored and the mechanisms involved are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of Insulin Sensitivity after Lean Donor Feces in Metabolic Syndrome Is Driven by Baseline Intestinal Microbiota Composition

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of lean donor FMT on glucose metabolism are associated with changes in intestinal microbiota and plasma metabolites and can be predicted based on baseline fecal microbiota composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in fat metabolism.
TL;DR: There is abundant evidence that the proportion of energy derived from fat during exercise is higher in women than in men, and this finding seems counterintuitive, as percentage body fat is increased in women.
