Gut Microbiota: The Missing Link in Obesity Induced Nonalcoholic Liver Disease
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Background and objective: Recent research has elucidated a close association between intestinal microbiota, obesity, insulin resistance and nonalcoholic hepatic injury. Various studies have also indicated an increase in hepatic marker enzymes in obesity. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the association of gut microbiota with obesity, insulin resistance and hepatic marker enzymes. Material and Method: This case-control study was conducted during March 2015 to October 2016 At S.C.B Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha. The study included 186 subjects (86 irritable bowel syndrome patients as per the Rome III criteria and hundred matched controls). Plasma fasting glucose, serum lipid profile, hepatic marker enzymes were analysed by commercial kits adapted to automated clinical chemistry analyser and serum fasting insulin was estimated by kits adapted to Lisa Scan. Observation: Compared to controls the Irritable bowel syndrome patients had significantly higher Body mass index (20.9± 5.6 vs 30.1±0.22), Waist-hip ratio (0.9 ± 0.11 vs 1.02 ± 0.06), lipid profile, hepatic marker enzymes and insulin resistance. Conclusion: IBS patients were obese, and exhibited dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, elevated hepatic enzymes suggesting development of NAFLD.
