Core Tip

Core tip: This review analyzes in a very comprehensive way all aspects related to nutrition and metabolism induced by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Interestingly, this bacterium is able to produce different biological effects on hormones controlling both appetite and growth, mostly depending on the time of acquisition of the infection and of eradication. On the other hand, H. pylori is able to induce malabsorption of several nutrients, with a strong effect on nutrition.
