Intestinal bacteria and their effects on obesity and irritable bowel syndrome

Scientists and Helsinki Universities united Vageninenskogo, for research and study of the characteristics of bacteria, widely distributed in human intestinal lumen.

Intestinal bacteria and their effects on obesity and irritable bowel syndrome materials, on the basis of which carried out the study, are fecal samples from more 1000 volunteers, basically, Europeans and Americans.

According to the results of research and analysis, Scientists have identified a huge number of bacteria, which are common in human feces. Greater attention was paid to a detailed study of the samples, in which the bacteria were spread over the whole or nonexistent.

In this way, Numerous bacteria have been found, which contribute to obesity and the body are the source of the problems of IBS. IBS - Irritable bowel syndrome is, but medicine has not yet studied the main causes of this type of disease.

In addition to study materials, Some features and properties of bacteria was identified. for example, in patients with reduced body weight greater amount of bacteria was found, belonging to the group Clostridiales, and with age they increase. But in those patients, who are obese and IBS bacteria Clostridiales mostly absent or were in a small amount. but, they had increased the number of bacteria, which belong to the group Bacteroides fragilis and Dialister spp. For this reason, it has been suggested, that these bacteria are the source of metabolic process.

Besides, during the research and analysis of the causes have been identified, which contribute to increase or decrease the number of bacteria in human intestinal lumen.

The reasons may be as follows

non-compliance during a diet;
heredity;
biocenoses, which occurs as a result of the operation and interaction of bacteria;

Researches show, that the most common cause, which contributes to the spread of bacteria certain active groups, They are diet.

For today, research, conducted by scientists focused on the study of bacterial groups and their relationship to human belonging to a certain race or nationality. they believe, that there is some relationship between them, which affects the development of bacteria. Firstly, will explore the national cuisine and ethnic preferences, which will be included in the study.
