Unraveling the complexities of diet induced obesity and glucolipid dysfunction in metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT: The consumption of a high-fat high-calorie diet with or without fructose (western or cafeteria diet) increases body mass due to calorie excess, inducing glucolipid metabolism dysfunctions culminating in development of unhealthy obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Understanding the sequelae of events that translates caloric excess to the development of MetS symptoms interlinking metabolic interrelationship between organs is paramount in the development of new treatment strategies. This review aims to create a compendium of evidence from mammalian studies (rodents, humans) to elucidate the metabolic changes induced by overnutrition. This review explores gut microbiome alterations, gut barrier dysfunctions, and immune dysregulation induced by a high-fat diet that changes gut tryptophan and
