Core Tip	The present review offers a summary of available studies exploring the pathogenic role of gut microbiota in the development of metabolic syndrome, subdividing experimental evidences coming from animal models and human subjects, since their results are not always comparable. The relative influences of dietary intake on gut microbial composition and functions are also explored, as well as the effects on intestinal microhabitat exerted by diet-induced weight loss and bariatric surgery. Finally a critical evaluation of the available evidences on probiotic and prebiotics is reported, delineating their potential clinical impact.
