Phytochemicals That Influence Gut Microbiota as Prophylactics and for the Treatment of Obesity and Inflammatory Diseases
Gut microbiota (GM) plays several crucial roles in host physiology and influences several relevant functions. In more than one respect, it can be said that you “feed your microbiota and are fed by it.” GM diversity is affected by diet and influences metabolic and immune functions of the host’s physiology. Consequently, an imbalance of GM, or dysbiosis, may be the cause or at least may lead to the progression of various pathologies such as infectious diseases, ...

Natural Products in Anti-Obesity Therapy
Obesity is regulated by genetic, endocrine, metabolic, neurological, pharmacological, environmental, and nutritional factors. The brain, gut, and adipose tissues interact with each other through metabolism-related neuropeptides, cytokines, chemokines, adipokines, and gut microbial composition. This contributes to changes in energy intake and energy expenditure. Globally, the increasing incidence of obesity is disturbing. In recent decades, obesity has been recognized as a chronic disease and a serious public health issue. It is well established ...

Low serum vitamin D-status, air pollution and obesity: A dangerous liaison
Abstract The aim of this review is to provide a general overview of the possible associations among the vitamin D status, air pollution and obesity. Sunlight exposure accounts in humans for more than 90 % of the production of vitamin D. Among emerging factors influencing sunlight-induced synthesis of vitamin D, prospective and observational studies proved that air pollution constitutes an independent risk factor in the pathogenesis of vitamin D hypovitaminosis. In addition, environmental pollutants can ...
