The Microbiota and Evolution of Obesity

Genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of obesity.

The researchers put forward a hypothesis called metaflammation in which robust defense mechanism against infectious diseases to defend against environmental pathogens may play a role in obesity.

The authors also discuss enhanced obesity complexity by the  genetic variations of gut microbiota.
