Childhood obesity: The relations between fatty acids, gut micro-biota and low grade inflammation
Ellie Wright
EGW Research Institute LLC, USA
The purpose of this research is to analyze if low grade inflammation in obese children could be address with probiotics/prebiotic
and fatty acids as they play a role in intestinal permeability, intestinal inflammatory responses and regulating insulin and fat
storage. Recent evidence suggests that gut micro biota is involved in the control of body weight, energy homeostasis, and inflammation
and plays a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Obesity in children is characterized by low grade inflammation expressed by
pro-inflammatory cytokines, adipokines and reactive oxygen species. With the increased usage of antibiotics and refined foods,
there is an increased alteration of micro biota done via several mechanisms: increasing gut permeability with subsequent metabolic
inflammation, impairing short-chain fatty acids synthesis, and altering bile acids metabolism. Probiotics/prebiotics affect the gut
micro biota directly and indirectly by modulating its bacterial content and through bacteriocins. Long-chain saturated fatty acids
are associated with dysbiosis while short-chain and certain unsaturated fatty acids are protected against dysbiosis and may promote
insulin sensitivity and regulate energy metabolism. This research aims to find nutritional approaches for preventing and attenuating
the pathological consequences of obesity in children.
