Your Gut Bacteria Makes You Fat, Diabetic, Fatty Livered and Full of
Bad Cholesterol
Bacteria from our intestines, more important for our health than
thought By Stefan Anitei, Science Editor

Bacteria in your guts are not just simple guests eating on your
leftovers.
Beside digestive conditions, these bugs induce more severe problems,
like obesity and now they were found to influence how fat is digested
and deposited in the liver.
An imbalanced gut flora can affect this metabolic path and trigger
diseases. Our gut has up to 100 trillion bacteria, about 10% of the
number of the human body's cells.
In 2006, one team revealed that obese people carry a somewhat
different bacterial species load than normal weighed people. Other
approaches showed that gut microbes can induce insulin resistance,
determining type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease, a severe
condition.
To see how microbes impair metabolism, a team at the Nestl� Research
Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, led by biochemist Jeremy Nicholson of
Imperial College London studied the health of seven mice whose gut
flora was substituted with that of a 3-week old human infant. These
results were compared with those achieved from mice with normal gut
flora. After four weeks, the team determined levels of 12 bile acids
in each mouse's urine, blood, liver and small intestine.
The liver synthesizes about 6 types of bile acids, which are released
into the small intestine to help digest fats. From the gut, the bile
acids reach again the liver and control cholesterol metabolism and
other endocrine processes.
"But different gut microbes can modify the structure of bile acids in
different ways, adding or snipping off various parts of the molecules,
which would presumably alter their fat-dissolving abilities," said
Nicholson.
17 variants of bile acid were detected in the gut, assigned into two
chemical classes.
The mice with the human bacterial flora had more of one class of bile
acid and less of the other, translated into significantly different
metabolites levels in the urine, blood and liver compared to mice type
bacterial flora.
"The results are the first to provide a detailed analysis how gut bugs
shift the balance of metabolites present," said medical microbiologist
David Relman of Stanford University.
"They also mean that altering gut microflora has far-reaching
physiological consequences for the host animal."
Mice with the human bacteria also presented more LDL (bad
cholesterol), in the liver and less glutathione, a natural antioxidant
that impedes tissue damage.
"Major changes to gut flora like this could predispose the body toward
disease." said Nicholson.

===============================================================> SHEESH! More parroting, bad thing about parroting? Old news by the time
he learns how.
Check the date, fool. 2 1/2 years ago.
Learn also about typically fat rednecks who because they don't exercise
their stomachs go in reverse to fat making machines. Hence the above
info would appear to be truthful, but is wrongly applied to all
circumstances.
An exercise will reverse all the above. Git to it, fat boy[/quote] |

This leaves out the most important part of this complex system. What
bacteria, and archaea for that matter too, which thrive in the gut
depends on large part on what foods are eaten. That determines which
species of them is supported as a function of what non-digestable food
fractions make it to the large gut. Among various fibers, for example,
support some but not all forms and this varies as to the properties of
the fiber and how much of it and in what combination.
The particular byproducts of each of the critters determine the
metabolic response as to disorder risk, if it be higher or lower because
of them. Some have little or no risk, some increase it, and others
decrease it; all a function of which are present and what byproducts are
produced.
To declare this very complex system the source and cause of particular
disorderrs is misleading because it is part of an even larger and more
complex system.. |

Not very bright are you? Now I see where "Jr., 2nd, or whatever"
inherited his lack of intelligence from.
Tell me, How did you dumb down given that you graduated from a college
around the middle of the last century? |
