Understanding the Role of the Gut Microbiome and Microbial Metabolites in Obesity and Obesity-Associated Metabolic Disorders: Current Evidence and Perspectives

TL;DR: More randomized controlled trials and larger prospective studies including well-defined cohorts as well as a multi-omics approach are warranted to better identify the associations between the gut microbiome, microbial metabolites, and obesity and its metabolic complications.

Diet, Genetics, and the Gut Microbiome Drive Dynamic Changes in Plasma Metabolites

TL;DR: Cecal and plasma metabolites showed multifold differences reflecting the combined and integrated effects of diet, antibiotics, host background, and the gut microbiome, which can contribute to regulation of metabolism and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview and systematic review of studies of microbiome in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

TL;DR: A systematic review of clinical studies of microbiome in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder suggests that these disorders are associated with reduced microbial diversity and show global community differences compared to non-psychiatric comparison samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in gut microbiome composition between persons with chronic schizophrenia and healthy comparison subjects

TL;DR: Evidence of altered gut microbial composition in persons with chronic schizophrenia is provided and a need for larger and longitudinal studies of microbiome in schizophrenia is suggested.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

Adipose expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha: direct role in obesity-linked insulin resistance

TL;DR: A role for TNF-alpha in obesity and particularly in the insulin resistance and diabetes that often accompany obesity is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.

Metabolic endotoxemia initiates obesity and insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is concluded that the LPS/CD14 system sets the tone of insulin sensitivity and the onset of diabetes and obesity and lowering plasma LPS concentration could be a potent strategy for the control of metabolic diseases.
