Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract is colonized with trillions of bacteria that are specialized of numerous physiological and immunological functions. The gut microbiata have been shown to impact nutrients processing and energy extraction. Accordingly, a link between obesity and the diversity and size of gut microbiata has been established. This review discussed the possible biochemical mechanisms through which gut micobiota might impact obesity and fat storage regulations and processing.
