Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Obesity and Chronic Diseases (ICOCD-2018)
Journal Title: Journal of Obesity and Chronic Diseases - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Obesity has been an epidemic in the US and world for more than two decades. Obesity is associated with serious health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancers, hyperlipidemia, and liver steatosis. The intestinal microbiota is composed of a diverse population of obligate and facultative anaerobic microorganisms, and these organisms carry out a broad range of metabolic activities. Obesity has been linked to changes in the intestinal microbiota, but the composition of the bacterial populations in lean and obese Zucker rats has not been carefully studied.
