title: [The role of the intestine microbiota in the development of obesity].
abstract: Medical societies all around the world have been alarmed by the problem of obesity and the diseases related to it. You can call it pandemic. Nowadays, obesity is viewed as a chronic condition that requires proper treatment. People suffering from it typically consume a larger amount of food, which in turn leads to changes in intestinal microbiome. Furthermore, obese people possess a specific kind of microflora, which might influence on the structure of human genome. Changes of intestine microflora depend on age, point of residence, culture specifics, lifestyle and socio-economic status. Currently, we can adjust intestinal micloflora by presenting pro- and prebiotics, which we believe might help in improving obesity level.
