Tarmflorans påverkan på fetma

Obesity is a problem that increases exponentially in humans and companion animals. It is defined as a big accumulation of fat in the body and is usually connected with several diseases. This study describes how obesity can be diagnosed, in which way the gut flora can affect obesity, if the gut flora...

description Obesity is a problem that increases exponentially in humans and companion animals. It is defined as a big accumulation of fat in the body and is usually connected with several diseases. This study describes how obesity can be diagnosed, in which way the gut flora can affect obesity, if the gut flora is genetically influenced or not, and how it differs between individuals with obesity and obesity-related diseases. Conclusions of the study are that both the bacterial strains Bacteriodetes and Firmicutes probably have a connection to obesity. The intestinal flora is probably also genetically related. Probiotics contain living microorganisms and is consumed in increasingly large amount by both humans and animals. These substances also contain large amount of the bacterial strain Firmicutes, which can lead to an increased risk of weight gain at high consumption.

Conclusions of the study are that both the bacterial strains Bacteriodetes and Firmicutes probably have a connection to obesity. The intestinal flora is probably also genetically related.

Fetma är ett problem som ökar exponentiellt hos både människor och sällskapsdjur. Det definieras som en stor ansamling fett i kroppen och är ofta kopplat till flera olika sjukdomar. I denna studie redovisas hur fetma diagnostiseras, samt på vilka sätt tarmfloran kan ha en påverkan på fetma, om tarmflorans sammansättning är ärftlig samt hur tarmflorans sammansättning skiljer sig hos individer med fetma och fetmarelaterade sjukdomar. Slutsatser som har dragits utifrån studien är att bakterierstammarna Bacterioidetes och Firmicutes troligtvis har en koppling till fetma, då många tidigare studier stärker detta. Probiotika konsumeras i allt större utsträckning främst av människor och innehåller stora mängder av dessa bakterier, vilket möjligen kan leda till en ökad risk för viktökning vid stor konsumtion. Tarmsammansättningen påverkas även troligen av individens genetiska anlag. SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry (until 231231) 2012 M2 swe eng https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/4817/
