Resumen
En el presente trabajo de Basnet J et al., destacan de manera enfática la asociación existente entre la microbiota —entendida como el conjunto de microorganismos que habitan principalmente el colon— y diversos procesos relacionados con el metabolismo y la funcionalidad hormonal. Asimismo, se analiza el papel fundamental del microbioma, definido como el conjunto del material genético de la microbiota en la regulación del metabolismo hormonal a través de la síntesis y actividad enzimática llevada a cabo por estos microorganismos.
