About the webinar

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) occupy the first place in the structure of morbidity and mortality worldwide due to the epidemic of obesity. Over the past 20 years, the prevalence of obesity has increased by 2 times. Every third adult in Europe is obese.

However, recent studies have shown that with the same food intake, the susceptibility to weight gain is different - a possible reason is the different metabolic activity of the microbiome.

The main topics of the lecture:

  • Microbiota and low-intensity chronic systemic inflammation in obesity;
  • The development of metabolic endotoxemia as the basis of metabolic syndrome in dysmicrobiocenosis;
  • The involvement of microbiota in the suppression of chronic systemic inflammation;
  • Short—chain fatty acids — what is it?;
  • Correction of metabolic syndrome through effects on the microbiota (protocols and schemes).
