The gut microbiota refers to the community of trillions of microorganisms that live inside everyone's gut.
The gut microbiota refers to the community of trillions of microorganisms that live inside everyone's gut.
A multitude of variables impacts the makeup of the gut microbiota, including diet and the body's synthesis of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which was found by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, scientists determined that these molecules may have a role in preventing blood sugar levels from increasing after ingesting a high-calorie "Western-style diet."
The microbial community is seeded during birth, after which several internal and external factors help shaping the community to its final composition.
