Although there is strong evidence in mouse models of obesity that the gut microbiome can be manipulated to target obesity-related metabolic disorders, evidence in humans is scarce. Human studies examining the effects and underlying mechanisms of gut microbiota modulation on host metabolism are currently lacking. A recent randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, led by Dr. Ellen Blaak from the Department of…
