Obesity is a complex metabolic disorder resulting from various genetic and environmental factors that cause excessive accumulation of fat tissue. Recent studies have shown the importance of the gut microbiome in obesity. Many studies conducted on obese individuals have shown that they have a similar microbiome. At this point, the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla come to the fore. The microbiome of obese individuals consists of less Bacteroidetes and more Firmicutes compared to that of healthy individuals. So, what does this mean? A gut rich in Bacteroidetes is associated with less body fat and inflammation. Firmicutes are responsible for harvesting energy from fats. In obese individuals, the greater presence of Firmicutes leads to the excessive production of energy from nutrients. Therefore, microbiome modulation should be provided for permanent weight loss and management. #obesity #microbiome #gut #weightmanagement #enbiosis #Neo-Science

This paper explores the use of rat diet-induced #obesity and metabolic dysregulation (DIO/DIMD) as a #preclinical model for obesity and weight-loss interventions. It reviews 110 studies, mainly focusing on young male rats, and identifies gaps in reporting diet composition and metabolic outcomes. Many expected responses occurred less frequently than anticipated, challenging the idea of a "typical" response. The paper suggests improvements in reporting standards and highlights the need to include female and older rats to better model human obesity, which is more common in these populations.
