    MICROBIOTA INTESTINAL EN LA OBESIDAD: REVISIÓN BIBLIOGRÁFICA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-09-20) Gutierrez Lozada, Andres Eduardo; Guangasig Toapanta, Víctor Hernán
    Obesity and overweight is the abnormal and excessive accumulation of body fat. In recent decades they have become a global public health problem. The intestinal microbiota, which is the microbial ecosystem that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract, is involved in the pathogenesis of obesity. The objective of the present review is to compile the latest advances on the relationship between the intestinal microbiota in obesity and establish dysbiosis as an important factor in obesity, as well as the influence of diet on the intestinal microbiota and the consumption of prebiotics and probiotics. . . A methodology was used based on the bibliographic review of research related to the microbiota and obesity, carried out by exploring digital platforms specialized in health, such as Pubmed, Google Academic, ScIELO and Dialnet, in the period between 2019 and 2023. The results revealed that an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota is associated with an increased risk of obesity and related diseases. It is clear that the intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity.

    TIPOS DE DIETA EN LA COMPOSICIÓN DE LA MICROBIOTA INTESTINAL Y SU RELACIÓN CON EL CÁNCER
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-09-20) Cerruffo Acosta, Brigitte Alexandra; Hidalgo Morales, Kattyta Patricia
    This article was carried out with the aim of making known the various diets that favor the composition of the intestinal microbiota and its relationship with cancer through the review of several investigations related to the subject, based on the above this work allows to reinforce the importance of having a proper diet for the correct functionality of the intestinal microbiota, since this would be both a preventive and therapeutic strategy for many diseases such as cancer and the benefits that would also bring the use of probiotics and prebiotics among others, which would be of great importance to contribute to a healthier microbiota, becoming a key factor, as a mediator of the effects of diet on health and source of Inter variability of response to a diet. Finally, some examples of dietary intervention in which the microbiota has been shown to play a key role in the results obtained are named. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to increase the knowledge about the etiological role of the microbiota in the development of a disease such as cancer and its knowledge could be of great utility and a fundamental tool in the detection and treatment of this disease, as well as to carry out a timely and individualized evaluation and intervention, with a multidimensional, systemic, multi and interdisciplinary approach.

    Probióticos para el tratamiento de colitis ulcerosa. Un estudio de revisión
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-05-01) Mallitasig Endara, Fátima Vanessa; Viteri Robayo, Carmen Patricia PhD
    Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon of multifactorial origin that affects the microbiota, its treatment seeks to improve its dysbiosis by means of probiotics, microorganisms with life, capable of providing multiple benefits to the organism. Objective: To analyze the benefits of probiotics in the treatment of ulcerative colitis by means of a literature review. Method: A systematic review was carried out in Spanish and English using scientific databases such as Scielo, Pubmed, Dialnet, Google Scholar, Elsevier. In a total of 251 reviews, considering as exclusion criteria those documents older than 3 years or not included in scientific databases. Results: Despite not being harmful to health, some authors highlight that the use of probiotics does not guarantee a cure of the disease or the elimination of its symptoms, but rather that it could be useful in periods of remission and its maintenance, provided it is used in the right amount and specific strain. Conclusions: Probiotics have proven to be useful in inducing the remission phase of active ulcerative colitis, with a specific amount and type of strains, however, studies are still needed to determine the duration of their effect on the organism.
