Current Insight into the Role of Gut Microbiota in Mexican Childhood Obesity

Obesity is an epidemic multifactorial metabolic malady worldwide. This review insights the influence of gut microbiota in developing obesity in Mexican children. High prevalence of childhood obesity in Mexico draws the importance to look for a therapeutic target to control it. Gut microbial disturbances in obese children may have a role in their metabolism. Excessive Short chain fatty acids produced by obese gut microbiota, present an additional energy which causes an imbalance in energy regulation. Thus Manipulating gut microbiota via diverse diet, probiotics and prebiotics treatment can provide a novel approach to treat obesity and other metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and Metabolic syndrome.
