Abstract in brief

  • Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, and the gut microbiota, particularly Akkermansia muciniphila, may play a role in obesity-related issues.
  • A pilot study with overweight participants found that daily supplementation of pasteurized A. muciniphila was safe, improved insulin sensitivity, and lowered cholesterol levels compared to placebo.
  • While the supplementation had slight effects on body weight and fat mass, it also showed potential benefits for liver function and inflammation markers after three months without altering overall gut microbiome structure.

Bon, "y'a plus qu'à" passer chez l'Homme. Et je vous ai dit que c'était une belle histoire. La dernière partie (pour l'instant) a été publiée dans Nature Medicine en 2019. https://t.co/vG6AwcXAfp

Il y a déjà quelques études prometteuses sur ce sujet comme avec la bactérie Akkermansia contre l’obésité , ou le cocktail repoopulate pour les infections au Clostridium difficile. (DOI: 10.1038/s41591-019-0495-2 & DOI: 10.1007/s00535-016-1232-y)

次世代プロバイオはそもそもまだまだ成熟してない印象ですねー。Akkermansiaのヒト試験が一番進んでいる印象。 https://t.co/PElE4fpdP3

Funny that the marketing of this Belgian Akkermansia "weight control" supplement is based on a study in which they found no statistically significant difference re weight reduction with the placebo group ... @MicrObesity ? https://t.co/rvpdo75aWM https://t.co/mlDATwkdlc https://t.co/DzQxTeQZOX
