Ultrasonic assisted extraction, characterization and gut microbiota-dependent anti-obesity effect of polysaccharide from Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae 'Chachiensis'.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors reported the extraction, characterization and underlying mechanism of anti-metabolic syndrome of an arabinan-rich polysaccharide from Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae 'Chachiensis' (PCRCP), obtained in a 7.0% yield by using ultrasound-assisted extraction under the optimized conditions of 30 mL/g liquid-to-solid ratio, 250 W ultrasound power for 20 min at 90 °C with pH 4.5.

Olive Leaf Extract Supplementation Combined with Calorie-Restricted Diet on Reducing Body Weight and Fat Mass in Obese Women: Result of a Randomized Control Trial.

TL;DR: In this article, an 8-week randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, clinical trial was carried out to evaluate a supplementation of the olive leaf extract (OLE) in adjunct with a weight loss diet on anthropometric indices, glycemic indices, lipid profile, as well as the level of adipokines, and free fatty acid in obese women.

Current Understanding of the Gut Microflora in Subjects with Nutrition-Associated Metabolic Disorder Such as Obesity and/or Diabetes : Is There Any Relevance with Oral Microflora?

TL;DR: It is necessary to consider that impaired oral microbiota, called oral dysbiosis, may affect the metabolic disorders leading to obesity and diabetes in addition to the gut inflammatory diseases via alteration of gut microflora.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial and Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals Diet-Related Alterations of Metabolism in Metabolic Disordered Mice

TL;DR: The dynamic and diversified impacts of HFD and HSD on gut microbiota and host metabolism were revealed and fecal microbiota transplantation suggested that some metabolic changes induced by HFD or HSD feeding were transferrable.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
