Obesity: A preventable, treatable, but relapsing disease.

TL;DR: The aim of this review was to discuss in detail the criteria for defining primary obesity as a disease in a step-by-step manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pathogenesis of obesity

TL;DR: The physiology of energy expenditure and energy intake in the context of body weight gain in humans is described and rare monogenetic causes leading to an impairment in central regulation of food intake and obesity are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Gut Microbiome as a Target for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.

TL;DR: The introduction of high-throughput sequencing technologies has provided novel insight into the interpersonal differences in microbiome composition and function, and the potential causal and personalized role of the human gut microbiota in obesity and T2D is highly prioritized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut Microbial Dysbiosis in the Pathogenesis of Gastrointestinal Dysmotility and Metabolic Disorders.

TL;DR: Recent literature on gut microbial alterations and/or interactions involved in the pathophysiology of GI dysmotility and metabolic disorders are reviewed to elucidate the cellular and molecular pathways underlying gut microbiota-host crosstalk and for the development of a powerful platform for future therapeutic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise training modulates the gut microbiota profile and impairs inflammatory signaling pathways in obese children.

TL;DR: The data suggest the existence of an obesity-related deleterious microbiota profile that is positively modified by physical activity intervention, and exercise training could be considered an efficient nonpharmacological therapy, reducing inflammatory signaling pathways induced by obesity in children via microbiota modulation.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
