De nombreux travaux ont associé le microbiote intestinal au développement de désordres métaboliques. Parmi les mécanismes potentiellement impliqués dans le dialogue bactéries-hôtes, le système endocannabinoïde (eCB) et ses lipides bioactifs jouent un rôle important. Nos travaux suggèrent l’existence d’un dialogue à double-sens entre l’organisme et les bactéries : le tissu adipeux contrôlerait la fonction barrière de l’intestin; et les bactéries de l’intestin seraient capables de contrôler le métabolisme du tissu adipeux.
Abstract
A number of studies have drawn attention to the contribution of intestinal microbiota in the development of metabolic disorders. Among the mechanisms potentially involved in the interaction between host and bacteria are the endocannabinoid system (eCB) and bioactive lipids. Our work suggests the existence of a two-way interaction between host and bacteria: fatty tissue might affect the barrier function of the intestine; gut bacteria might affect the metabolism of adipose tissue.
