Abstract
There is a recent growing evidence that abnormalities in the microbiota composition can have a major role in the development of obesity and diabetes and that some actions of metformin may be mediated by gut bacteria. Several mechanisms have been found. A reduced microbial diversity is associated to inflammation, insulin-resistance, and adiposity. In particular, a rise in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio is related to a low-grade inflammation...
