Abstract:
Almost all multicellular organisms have a symbiotic relationship with prokaryotes in nature.In humans,the interaction between host and microbial flora is particularly important in the gastrointestinal tract.Technical and conceptual advances have enabled us to establish its role in human health and disease.Studies have shown that disorder of gut microbiota may participate in the development of metabolic diseases,such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.This review opens up new ideas to find strategies for modifying gut microbiota to impact on the occurrence of metabolic diseases.
