PROJECT SUMMARY An obesogenic Western-style (HF) diet causes low-grade intestinal inflammation, intestinal microbiota imbalance, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, our knowledge about the pathways producing each of these different disease manifestations is incomplete, making it difficult to see connections. Experiments proposed in this application are aimed at addressing this critical gap in knowledge. Our long-range goal is to elucidate molecular mechanisms that make the gut microbiota a liability during non-communicable diseases. This application aims to study the mechanisms through which HF diet drives gut dysbiosis and determine whether the resulting imbalance…
