Metabolically healthy obesity: facts and fantasies.

TL;DR: The definition, stability over time, and clinical outcomes of MHO are reviewed, and the potential factors that could explain differences in metabolic health in people with MHO and MUO are discussed - specifically, modifiable lifestyle factors and adipose tissue biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics and insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: The aim of the present review was to investigate the effects of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics (a combination of probiotic and prebiotic) on insulin resistance in human clinical trials and to discuss the potential mechanisms whereby probiotics and pre biotics improve glucose metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut Microbiome Fermentation Determines the Efficacy of Exercise for Diabetes Prevention

TL;DR: It is found that exercise-induced alterations in the gut microbiota correlated closely with improvements in glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity and raised the possibility of maximizing the benefits of exercise by targeting the Gut microbiota.

An Intestinal Organ Culture System Uncovers a Role for the Nervous System in Microbe-Immune Crosstalk

TL;DR: Differential engagement of the enteric nervous system may partake in bifurcating pro- or anti-inflammatory responses to microbes, as demonstrated by activation of sensory neurons by microbes, correlating with RORg+ Treg induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile diversion to the distal small intestine has comparable metabolic benefits to bariatric surgery

TL;DR: Bile diversion, independent of surgical rearrangement of the gastrointestinal tract, imparts significant weight loss accompanied by improved glucose and lipid homeostasis that are hallmarks of RYGB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causality of small and large intestinal microbiota in weight regulation and insulin resistance

TL;DR: Interventions aimed to restoring gut microbial homeostasis, such as ingestion of specific fibers or therapeutic microbes, are promising strategies to reduce insulin resistance and the related metabolic abnormalities in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.
