Abstract

Microbiome plays a crucial role in balancing our body.  Obesity is a prevailing disease among the whole world without any sufficient drugs to deal with the increasing risks of later syndromes, which is why our group wants to pay more attention on it.  Obesity is a severe disease which has been ignored by the public, while microbiome is known to benefit our body. We should give priority to know how these two are actually the case, what the mechanisms of them are and what the contribution of them is.  On the basis of previous researches on treating obesity with microbiome such as after weight-loss intervention, our group also came up with new ideas of treatment which aimed at digestion and plantation in the area of pharmacology, immunology and psychology.  However, certain studies must be carried out to test whether these innovations are workable.
