Introduction
The gut microbiota, which consists of trillions of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in maintaining human health. Recent research has shown that alterations in the composition and function of gut microbiota can lead to the development of various metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of these metabolic disorders is essential for developing novel therapeutic strategies to improve human health.

Thesis Overview
The gut microbiota plays a significant role in the development and progression of metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This thesis aims to investigate the mechanisms by which gut microbiota influence metabolic disorders and explore potential therapeutic interventions targeting gut microbiota. The literature review will provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge on gut microbiota and metabolic disorders, while the research methodology will outline the study design and data collection methods. The discussion of findings will present the results of the study and their implications for clinical practice, followed by a conclusion summarizing the key findings and recommendations for future research.
