This human gut bacteria prevents and treats obesity in mice

A type of bacteria found in the human gut, known as Clostridium immunis, has been shown to prevent and treat obesity in mice, thanks to a specific type of sugar it produces, which may help regulate the immune system's role in metabolism. The research team found that the bacteria protects against obesity, and more specifically, a sugar molecule it produces can reduce body fat and weight gain in mice. The research team's analysis suggests the same pathway may exist in humans and this may be someth
