Abstract
The mammalian gut microbiota influences both sides of the energy balance equation, salvaging energy from undigested nutrients and directing the host to accumulate adipose tissue. Semova et al. (2012) use zebrafish to demonstrate that the gut microbiota also promotes dietary lipid absorption, emphasizing the many host-microbial interactions contributing to adiposity.Entities:
