In addition, there is an effect of the intestinal microbiota on metabolism and digestion. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is a common cause worldwideof hepatic pathology and is thought to be the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. In this review we examine the effect of the human microbiome on the components and pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. We are now on the threshold of therapeutic interventions on the human microbiome in order to effect human disease including NAFLD.展开更多
