Colonization of germ free mice by microorganisms is associated with stimulation of glycogenesis in the liver and increase in hepa- tic triglyceride synthesis. These changes are evidence of the degree of importance of mechanisms that regulate host–gut microbiota interactions [8]. A systems level framework to understand the community network in obese and inflammatory bowel disease conditions also establishes the impact of the microbiome on hu- man health [9].
In this study, the extended carbohydrate metabolism capabili- ties conferred by the microbial community in the gut, in addition to innate host carbohydrate metabolic activity are analyzed through information accessed from well recognized biological dat- abases and a network is built, encompassing all the appropriate data.
