• [#Akkermansia muciniphila] - In humans, higher muscle mass and a leaner body composition (i.e., relatively lower fat mass), is associated with enrichment of #Akkermansiaceae family members in the gut microbiome , including A. muciniphila.
• [#Western-style diet] - in western populations, #Blautia genus abundance is directly correlated with both BMI and visceral fat, but the inverse relationship is observed in studies in Japanese and Chinese populations where decreasing in relative abundance of #Blautia in the gut microbiome, is associated with increased visceral fat
• [#Collinsella aerofaciens] - subjects with BMI values ≥25 kg/m2 have higher relative abundances of members of the #Collinsella genus (e.g., #Collinsella aerofaciens), and the #Veillonellaceae and #Lachnospiraceae families (e.g., genera #Dorea, #Lachnospira, #Coprococcus).

• [1.76] 
  - Endogenous #Acetate turnover was 30% higher in lean versus obese subjects, and increased plasma #Acetate turnover did not contribute to increased GSIS or #Ghrelin secretion in either group
• - gut microbiota exposed to high-calorie nutrients raise #Acetate levels in the animal, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system. - This increases #Ghrelin and #Glucose-stimulated insulin system (GSIS) secretion, which promotes appetite for high-calorie foods, resulting in a positive feedback cycle.
• - In obese people, high indigestible carbohydrate intake can significantly increase #Firmicutes bacteria such as Ruminococci, #Roseburia, and #Eubacterium rectale, whereas a lack of dietary fermentable carbohydrate intake can significantly decrease #Butyric acid-producing bacteria and, consequently, fecal #Butyric acid content

• [#Bacteroides uniformis, #Escherichia coli, #Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, #Parabacteroides distasonis] [#Fasting] - During IER > the abundance of obesity-related probiotics including F. prausnitzii, P. distasonis, and B. uniformis significantly increased compared with that at baseline, whereas the abundance of pathogenic E. coli significantly decreased. - the reduction in E.coli abundance sustained to the endpoint of phase III, whereas the abundance of F. prausnitzii, P. distasonis, and B. uniformis peaked at midpoint of phase II and declined to near baseline levels at endpoint of phase III.
• [#Bacteroides uniformis, #Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, #Parabacteroides distasonis] - F. prausnitzii, P. distasonis, and B. uniformis can reduce obesity and alleviate obesity-related metabolic and immune disorders
• [#Escherichia coli] - E. coli abundance is related to the obesity pathogenesis and dietary behavior. - Nutritional factors can regulate E. coli proliferation, affecting the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 that induces intestinal satiety and dietary termination signals. - The E coli abundance was negatively associated with the left orbital inferior frontal gyrus in the inhibitory control circuit at base line and the right putamen in the learning and memory circuit at endpoint of phase III. - E. coli can regulate the anorexia and appetite pathways by penetrating the blood-brain barrier to affect brain function and modulating the expression of appetite-regulating neuropeptides.

  - Distinct VOC signatures for #Schizophrenia were m/z 60 and m/z 74. The first of these was identified as trimethylamine (#TMA). - patients with #Schizophrenia displayed a significantly lower concentration of #TMA in their breath. - Decreased production of #TMA is found in patients with #Choline-deficient diets, in nonalcoholic #Steatohepatitis and may result in obesity and #Hyperglycemia, which are often seen in patients with #Schizophrenia.

  - #Oxalobacteraceae, #Actinomycetaceae, and #Ruminiclostridium could potentially increase the risk of Drug-induced obesity.
• - #Butyricimonas independently increased the risk of medication-induced obesity.
• - Four bacterial species, including #Ruminococcaceae UCG010, #Butyricimonas, #Pasteurellaceae and #Lactobacillus independently influence the development of various types of obesity.
• - #Desulfovibrio and #Catenabacterium may serve as protective factors in the onset of Drug-induced obesity.
• - In the case of extreme obesity with alveolar hypoventilation, #Lactobacillus reduced the risk of its occurrence.
• - For localized adiposity, #Pasteurellaceae acted as a protective factor.
• - #Ruminococcaceae UCG010 independently reduced the risk of obesity induced by excessive calorie intake
• - #Ruminococcus torques group may increase the risk of its occurrence.
• [1.93] 
  - #Parabacteroides distasonis alleviates obesity and metabolic dysfunctions via production of #Succinate and #Secondary bile acids. - Administration of #Parabacteroides distasonis leads to increased bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity, inhibition of intestinal FXR signaling and decreased TCDCA levels in liver
• [1.94] [#Short Chain Fatty Acid] 
  - Consumption of green banana biomass seems to exert beneficial effects on intestinal function and potential effects on obesity, #Dyslipidemia, and diabetes. These effects may be related to increased fecal short-chain fatty acid concentrations as a result of type 3 #Resistant Starch present in biomass.
• [1.95] [#Metabolic associated fatty liver disease] 
  - higher plasma #Calprotectin levels are associated with suspected MAFLD and the risk of all-cause mortality. - elevated fecal #Calprotectin (FC) levels in a pediatric cohort, including patients with obesity and MAFLD.
• [#Metabolic associated fatty liver disease] - #Ruminiclostridium and #Streptococcus were enriched in patients with obesity and MAFLD. - these changes remained significant for #Ruminococcaceae UCG-008 even after correction for multiple comparisons
• [#Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis] - patients with obesity and NASH demonstrated an abundance of #Lactobacilli, while patients with NASH who were overweight displayed a diminished abundance of #Bifidobacterium. - patients with lean NASH displayed a deficiency in Lactobacillus in comparison to their overweight and obese NASH counterparts.
• [1.96] 
  - #Barnesiellaceae have been linked to chronic conditions such as obesity, cognitive dysfunction, #Depression, cardiovascular disease, and #Crohn’s disease
• [1.97] [#Blautia, #Ruminococcus] 
  - Specific human gut microbes, including Ruminococcus_E, #Agathobacter, #Fusicatenibacter, #Anaerobutyricum, Blautia_A and #Neisseria, were identified as potential consensus microbial biomarkers for obesity in the population.
• [1.98] 
  - Lactobacillus casei can improve insulin resistance which is the underlying cause of obesity-associated metabolic abnormalities, in diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice.
• [1.99] 
  - These changes in Akkermansia muciniphila were robustly correlated with the expression of lipid metabolism and inflammation markers in adipose tissue, as well as several circulating parameters (i.e., glucose, insulin, triglycerides, leptin) from DIO mice.
