While the GLP-1 hormone plays a significant role in appetite control and the feeling of fullness, the gut microbiota, prebiotic fibers, and probiotics can also indirectly affect this process. In this article, we discuss how GLP-1 works, why notable bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila stand out, and the potential of probiotics on weight management and metabolic health within a scientific framework.
Read MoreAkkermansia muciniphila is one of the most talked-about commensal bacteria in the context of cardiometabolic health over the last 10–15 years, known for its “mucus-loving” life strategy and residing in the intestinal mucus layer. In this article, we will address the species from its discovery to its genomic capacity, from molecular “cross-talk” mechanisms with the mucus barrier to clinical evidence, within a technical framework.
