Akkermansia

Comments

 
Picture
Akkermansia and its only (currently ) known species Akkermansia muciniphila is a probiotic bacteria, supposedly helping with weight loss. Akkermansia muciniphila make up 3-5% among hundreds of other gut bacteria in healthy individuals. In obese people the level of A. muciniphila bacteria falls sharply. Recently performed studies in rodents have indicated that Akkermansia muciniphila in the intestinal tract may mediate obesity, diabetes, and inflammation.
Prebiotic fiber such as oligofructose can help recover a failing gut colony of 
Akkermansia muciniphila. So can fish oil - its consumption increases populations of both Akkermansia and Lactobacilli. Akkermansia can be found in human milk. animal food sources, "beneficial" parasitic worms.
