Fig. 2: Hypothesis correlating maternal obesity, microbial dysbiosis, and inflammation.
From: Microbiome and pregnancy: focus on microbial dysbiosis coupled with maternal obesity
Inflammation due to pregnancy affects microbial metabolism and composition, resulting in a dysbiosis and increased fat deposition. These effects are exacerbated by the systemic inflammation and microbial dysbiosis associated with obesity. Created with Biorender.
