The Gastrointestinal System and Obesity

TL;DR: It is not clear if the GI role in obesity is cause or effect of this disease, and arguments can be made toward both ends, so obesity could be considered a disease of the GI tract and/or concurrently.

Gut Phageome Analysis Reveals Disease-Specific Hallmarks in Childhood Obesity

TL;DR: The data support that changes in the gut phageome may contribute to obesity and metabolic syndrome development via bacterial dysbiosis and provide the basis for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for managing obesity and preventing metabolic Syndrome development in obese children through potential phage manipulation.

Changes in gut microbiota, metabolite SCFAs, and GPR43 expression in obese diabetic mice after sleeve gastrectomy

TL;DR: To evaluate changes in short‐chain fatty acid levels and G protein‐coupled receptor 43 expression and distribution in gut microbiota and explore their relationships in obese diabetic mice after sleeve gastrectomy.

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.

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.
