New factor of obesity: endotoxin from gut microbiota

Anh Thoai Nguyen

Main Article Content

Abstract

Obesity is a multi-factor disease and is one of the world’s most common diseases. Recent studies have come up with the new causes of obesity. They are charaterized by a low-grade inflammation with the initial factor of endotoxin (Lipopolysaccharide - LPS) from the outer membrane of negative-Gram gut bacteria. The amount of these bacteria will increase with a high-fat diet, and thus, the percentage of LPS in blood also increases. Thereby, it accelerates obesity.
