Lifestyle changes may result in a persistent positive energy balance, hastening the onset of these age-related disorders and consequently leading to a diminished lifespan. Although suggestions have been raised on the possible link between obesity and the gut microbiota, progress has been hampered due to the extensive diversity and complexities of the gut microbiota. Being recognized as a potential biomarker owing to its pivotal role in metabolic activities, the dysregulation of the gut microbiota can give rise to a persistent low-grade inflammatory state associated with chronic diseases during aging. This chronic inflammatory state, also known as inflammaging, induced by the chronic activation of the innate immune system via the macrophage, is controlled by the gut microbiota, which links nutrition, metabolism, and the innate immune response. Here, we present the functional roles of prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics as bioactive compounds by underscoring their putative contributions to (1) the reduction in gut hyperpermeability due to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inactivation, (2) increased intestinal barrier function as a consequence of the upregulation of tight junction proteins, and (3) inhibition of proinflammatory pathways, overall leading to the alleviation of chronic inflammation in the management of obesity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cimb46030119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]],"date-time":"2024-02-28T07:56:02Z","timestamp":1709106962000},"page":"1810-1831","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Microbial-Based Bioactive Compounds to Alleviate Inflammation in Obesity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Oladayo Emmanuel","family":"Apalowo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health Promotion, Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS 39762, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Grace Adeola","family":"Adegoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Health Science, Ball State University, Muncie, IN 47306, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tolulope Mobolaji","family":"Obuotor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta 110001, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1007\/s11357-016-9884-3","article-title":"Obesity and Related Consequences to Ageing","volume":"38","author":"Jura","year":"2016","journal-title":"Age"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zhao, Y., Zheng, Y., Xie, K., Hou, Y., Liu, Q., Jiang, Y., Zhang, Y., and Man, C.
