摘要: The human gut is colonized by trillions of bacteria that complement our own genes with 150-fold more microbial genes. Acting at the intersection between diet and host biology microbiota can be considered a metabolic organ affects physiology. Here we explore evidence supports hypothesis there dynamic interrelationship plays an important role in nutrition as well modulating energy balance. Furthermore, altered obesity germ-free mice have reduced adiposity are protected against diet-induced obesity. Accordingly, may environmental factor contributes to diseases.
