LARROSA, Mar et al. Microbiota-diet interactions: towards personalized nutrition. []. , 39, spe3, pp.39-43.   21--2022. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04309.

The gut microbiota has emerged as a key factor on one hand as a mediator of the effects of diet on health and, on the other hand, as a source of intervariability of response to a diet. Moreover, there is a strong bidirectional interaction between our health and the microbiota that inhabit us, with each determining the presence of the other. In this review are named some of the metabolic functions in which the microbiota participates and which have an impact on our health, with particular emphasis on its ability to ferment fiber and produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that provide numerous benefits to our health, but which have also been linked to obesity. Finally, some examples of dietary intervention in which the microbiota has been shown to play a key role in the results obtained are mentioned.
