In order to identify the genes possibly responsible for the alterations induced by the LAB consortium with respect to LGG, real-time qPCR analysis was performed for nhr-49, pept-1, and tub-1 genes, whose involvement in lipid metabolism and obesity-related phenotypes have been described [29–31]. Here, SLC15A1 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
