Question

The text is too large so I am not able to provide you with the text. That is why I have provided a direct link for my assignment. Thank you

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271271253_Gut_microbiota_composition_correlates_with_changes_in_body_fat_content_due_to_weight_los

I need to answer these questions on it.

List TWO sources other than those listed in the periodicals, that you could refer to if you were to research the article’s topic further. (1 point) 8. Did you learn anything interesting (diet related) that may cause you to alter your diet? If so, what was it? (1 point)

Answer 1

Two sources to research further on the article's topic:

• Ussar, S., Griffin, N. W., Bezy, O., Fujisaka, S., Vienberg, S., Softic, S., ... & Kahn, C. R. (2015). Interactions between gut microbiota, host genetics and diet modulate the predisposition to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Cell metabolism, 22(3), 516-530.
• Zhang, X., Zhao, Y., Xu, J., Xue, Z., Zhang, M., Pang, X., ... & Zhao, L. (2015). Modulation of gut microbiota by berberine and metformin during the treatment of high-fat diet-induced obesity in rats. Scientific reports, 5.

These two scientific papers are not listed in the bibliography, these would help you understand the complex relationship between the environment, genetics, gut microbiota and dietary habits in the development of subjects' obesity. It has already been proposed that with an unaltered genetic background, reprogramming or balancing gut microbiota can avoid the development of metabolic syndrome.

Did you learn anything interesting (diet related) that may cause you to alter your diet? If so, what was it? Yes, according to the articles cited in this paper, it has been shown that a fat-enriched diet facilitates the transport of bacterial LPS from the gut lumen into the bloodstream, thus promoting an inflammatory state of the human body, which is not beneficial for our health .
