What is it about?
Changes in gut microbiota ecosystem has been linked to permeability changes in the gut and enhanced absorption of lipid from diet, resulting in dyslipidemia, and obesity.

Why is it important?
Metabolic endotoxemia arising from increased circulating level of bacterial derive particles consequent to perturbation in the gut microbial community and the elevated serum level of LBP may precede the development of obesity, characterized by dyslipidemia, dysregulation of gut energy harvest, and metabolic energy imbalance.
Perspectives
alteration in gut microbiota is associated with loss of metabolic energy balance
