Conserved Shifts in the Gut Microbiota Due to Gastric Bypass Reduce Host Weight and Adiposity

Conserved Shifts in the Gut Microbiota Due to Gastric Bypass Reduce Host Weight and Adiposity | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it

Via Clara Belzer, zorro zhang
Clara Belzer's curator insight, March 30, 2013 6:32 AM

In many people with type 2 diabetes, the disease vanished almost immediately after a gastric by-pass, too quickly to be explained by the gradual weight loss that happens later. The authors decribes taht weight loss and operation ar acompanied with a boost in three types of bacteria called Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, and Proteobacteria. These findings provide  empirical support for the claim that changes in the gut microbiota contribute to reduced host weight and adiposity after gastric bypass surgery.
