The increasing global concern over obesity and metabolic disorders, along with their detrimental health consequences, has led to a growing recognition of the role played by the gut microbiota. Recent research has indicated that the dynamic and complex population of microbes residing in the gastrointestinal tract can contribute to the development of these conditions. With advancements in next generation DNA sequencing, our ability to study the microbial communities associated with the human body's habitats, particularly the gut microbiota, has significantly improved. Consequently, it has been discovered that the gut microbiota influences various aspects such as caloric intake, intestinal absorption, energy balance, and immune function. As a result, there is considerable interest in strategies aimed at modulating the microbiota to control obesity and metabolic disorders. Notably, certain dietary interventions, such as prebiotics and probiotics, have shown promising results in promoting weight loss in cases of diet-induced obesity or diabetes.
