Identifying gut microbiota Faecalibacterium as a potential biomarker for distinguishing visceral or subcutaneous obese population
This study measured visceral and subcutaneous fat volumes via CT and revealed that the composition of the gut microbiota is related to the type of obesity. In addition, we found that <i>Blautia</i> and <i>Faecalibacterium</i> were associated with visceral and subcutaneous obesity, which provides new insights for the diagnosis and treatment of obesity.
