Abstract
: Introduction: Obesity is an inflammatory condition associated with metabolic alterations. Recent researches suggested that gut microbiota plays a role in its pathogenesis, as obesity has been associated with lower bacterial diversity and higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (F/R ratio) compared to normal‐weight condition. Such alterations can affect metabolite production (mainly short-chain fatty acids) having an impact on inflammatory markers modulation and insulin secretion. Objectives and study : To determine the effect of 4 months 500 mg/day DHA supplementation, combined with dietary and lifestyle intervention, on gut microbiota and biochemical parameters. Methods: Twelve Caucasian obese children (5 males, 7 females), aged 6-14 years (mean age 10 y), were enrolled. Study protocol was approved by the local Ethics Commitee and registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT04151758). Blood and stool samples
