Relationship of gut microbiota and immunological response in obesity-related non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children.

Abstract

In the development of NAFLD plays an important role the intestinal microflora. Our aim was to characterize role microbiota in children. Distinctive gut microbiota composition was observed in children, characterized and short-chain fatty acid producing bacteria. For the treatment of NAFLD it is possible by therapeutic manipulations with prebiotics and probiotics to modulate the gut microbiota and maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier are potential agents.
