Abstract
Undoubtedly, obesity has become a global public health
problem particularly when looking at the obesity-related diseases.
Over the past 20 years, studies explored greatly the role of fat tissue
in obesity #pathogenesis suggesting that the functional differences
between visceral fat adiposity (VFA) and subcutaneous fat #adiposity(SFA) impacted the appearance of many obesity-related diseases.
Therefore, increased knowledge about VFA and SFA could promote
the development of more effective therapies against several obesityrelated
problems. The role of modulating gut #microbiota with fiberdiet
(#prebiotics) in attempt to reduce VFA is nowadays an era of
interest to treat obesity. Prebiotics constitute a selective stimulation
of growth/activity of certain #microbialspecies in the gut microbiota
that offer health benefits to the host [1]. Consequently, its use as a
dietary intervention provides a novel #therapeutics in obesity and
cardio-metabolic disease risk [2]. These mini-review summaries
the current evidence linking a specific dietary-fiber called inulin to
the reduction of VFA.
