Objective: To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in children with disparate degrees of adiposity, and analyze the association between gut microbiota, glucose metabolism indicators and inflammatory factors.Methods: Clinical data were examined in 89 Chinese children. Children with body fat (BF)% ≥ 30% were diagnosed as obesity, and ≥ 35% in males and ≥40% in females were further defined as severe ob...

The relationship between soy isoflavones (SI)-induced gut dysbiosis and puberty onset has not been explored, and the protective effect of probiotic are still controversial. This study investigated the action of SI and probiotic on the age of puberty onset in female c57/bl mice. Changes in the gut microbiota and production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) metabolism are highlighted to analyze a possible causative relationship to puberty onset. The results demonstrate that SI ...
