Summary
Obesity is classified as a low-grade chronic and systemic inflammatory disease and results
from complicated interactions between genes and environmental factors, which leads to many
diseases and affects the quality of life. There are growing interests in the effectiveness of
probiotics as a supplementation to treat obesity through regulating microbiota host
metabolism. Probiotics may influence the interplays among gut, brain, adipose, and liver in a
way leading to weight. Since limited studies have been conducted on human subjects, more
investigation is needed in this field. Therefore, this study sheds light on the investigation
of the anti-obesity effect of probiotic supplementation.
