Revisión narrativa de la literatura científica para identificar el papel de la microbiota intestinal en el desarrollo de obesidad

Abstract

Abstract: Over the last decade, obesity has reached a considerable epidemic proportion and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) it is expected that the number of people affected continues to increase. For a long time there has been talk of the implication of diet and sedentary lifestyle on the development of obesity, however, Advances in fields such as metagenomics have now revealed that people Obese people have a different intestinal microbiota composition than people thin, characterized by an increase in certain taxa and a decrease in others. To the At the same time, the relationship of certain genetic mutations in the predisposition, development and progression of obesity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to be able to determine the relationship of the intestinal microbiota in the development of obesity, from generality, without the research achieving a scope on the specificity of the relationship between the different taxa (divisions, classes, families and/or bacterial genera)
