Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, gut microbiota in mice eating high fat diet
we examined the relationship between periodontal bacterial infection and clinical/biochemical parameters in 52 NAFLD patients. Anti-Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) antibody titers correlated positively with visceral fat, fasting plasma insulin, and HOMA-IR; and negatively with the L/S ratio. C57BL/6J mice (8-weeks-old) were given Aa or saline (control) for 6 weeks, and were fed either normal chow (NCAa, NCco) or high-fat diet (HFAa and HFco).
