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.

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.

Dietary emulsifiers impact the mouse gut microbiota promoting colitis and metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: Results support the emerging concept that perturbed host–microbiota interactions resulting in low-grade inflammation can promote adiposity and its associated metabolic effects and suggest that the broad use of emulsifying agents might be contributing to an increased societal incidence of obesity/metabolic syndrome and other chronic inflammatory diseases.

Are We Really Vastly Outnumbered? Revisiting the Ratio of Bacterial to Host Cells in Humans

TL;DR: It is often presented as common knowledge that bacteria outnumber human cells by a ratio of at least 10:1, but it is found that the ratio is much closer to 1:1.

A purified membrane protein from Akkermansia muciniphila or the pasteurized bacterium improves metabolism in obese and diabetic mice

TL;DR: It is shown that A. muciniphila retains its efficacy when grown on a synthetic medium compatible with human administration and enhanced its capacity to reduce fat mass development, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in mice, and Amuc_1100, a specific protein isolated from the outer membrane of A. Sydneyi, interacts with Toll-like receptor 2, is stable at temperatures used for pasteurization and partly recapitulates the beneficial effects of the bacterium.
