| title | The influence of the microbiota on adipocyte metabolism and the immune system | ||
| description | Obesity and type II diabetes are disorders that are shown to be quenched by changes in the gut microbiota. The aim of the study is to investigate how the gut microbiota influences the presence of energy-expending adipocytes and immune cells in the adipose tissue. Rats will be fed different diets to monitor changes in the colonic microbial communities. Biopsies of colon and adipose tissue will be taken for gene expression and histological analysis. Moreover, faecal and cecal content samples will be collected for bacterial analysis. Understanding how changes in the colonic microbial community influences adipocytes and leukocytes could facilitate the procedures used in treatment of obesity and diabetes. These procedures would potentially be performed by using specific dietary components shown to trigger the propagation of microbial community that burns fat. | ||
