The gut microbiome in obesity

Open access
Tseng, Ching-Hung, Wu, Chun-Ying·2019·Journal of the Formosan Medical Association

Abstract

Obesity is worldwide epidemic given its rapid growth in global prevalence. Among the risk factors contributing to obesity, human gut microbiome recently emerges with unprecedented intimacy in host metabolism and inflammation. With the advances in sequencing technology, more and more detailed understandings towards the intricate relationships linking gut microbiome and obesity have been continuously disclosed. Herein, we review studies resolving associations between gut microbiome and obesity, and then mechanistic studies tackling the roles played by gut microbes in obesogenic physiology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
