"Skinny" bacteria help to lose weight Bashny.Net

Microorganisms that live in the human gut, the most direct impact on the weight tela



Employees of the University of Washington in St. Louis dedicated study microbiome (totality of bacteria and microorganisms that live in the digestive tract) the person for several years. In the course of numerous experiments it was found that the introduction of micro-organisms contained in human excrement in the digestive system of some laboratory mice affects many physiological characteristics of the fluffy "volunteers", including on body weight.

The experiments involved four pairs of sisters, twins, and in each pair one of the women was complete, and the other not. Researchers took each participant samples microbiome and transplanted a number of bacteria and germs experimental mice. It was found that animals that have introduced bacteria overweight people began to gain weight, even though their diet remained unchanged - it is suggested that the metabolism is strong enough depends microbiome.

In further experiments on animals, scientists found that the diet also affects the willingness of the body weight gain, And if the mice were fed a high-calorie food, bacteria slender volunteers had no impact on their well-fed "colleagues", and when the diet includes foods that are high in fiber and low saturated fat, microbes mice with normal weight are gradually replaced by micro-organisms in the gut fat animals.





By the way, before scientists learned how to use microorganisms in the treatment of certain diseases, for example, by eliminating fecal transplant patients from recurrent intestinal infections. Perhaps the bacteria are able to demonstrate their effectiveness in the fight against obesity, but it is worth remembering that this technique is best combined with rehabilitation diet.
