Inflammation Parameters Associated with Metabolic Disorders: Relationship Between Diet and Microbiota

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) includes numerous interrelated clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, and metabolic components and has become a public health problem due to its impact on morbimortality. Inflammation is a central mechanism underlying the etiology and clinical manifestations of MetS, contributing to its related pathological outcomes. Dietary patterns have been associated with the promotion of the diversity of microbiota in the digestive tract. Recently, research has focused on the importance of microbiota changes associated with MetS and inflammation. Other studies have been performed to understand the impact of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics as allies on diet, inflammation, and MetS parameters. This review analyses the correlation between metabolic disorders, inflammation parameters, gut microbiota, and how diet has been involved as treatment of MetS and the modulation of inflammation and microbiota.
