Bacterial ‘signature’ could help to predict diabetes risk

A new study suggests that 24-hour changes in the gut microbiota could help to predict who’s at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Microbial metabolite could make anti-diabetic drug less effective

Gut microbiota could make the anti-diabetic drug metformin less effective, researchers from the University of Gothenburg have found.

How gut microbes could contribute to type 2 diabetes

Researchers have found that alterations in the gut microbiota composition in prediabetic people could contribute to type 2 diabetes.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs could influence the gut microbiota in obese people

Obese people have a gut microbiota that is associated with inflammation. But those who take statins have a healthier gut microbiota, a new study (Nature) found.

“There is a strong relationship between gut dysbiosis, metabolic diseases and cancer”

Rémy Burcelin explains how understanding the link between gut microbiota, metabolic syndrome and cancer could be useful from a therapeutic point of view.

Fasting may alleviate diabetes-related cognitive decline by altering the gut microbiota

A study in mice suggests that short-term intermittent fasting alters the gut microbiota, alleviating the cognitive deficits associated with diabetes.

Mother’s gut microbes may affect the risk of obesity and diabetes in offspring

A study published in Science suggests that a mother's gut microbes shape the metabolism of offspring, conferring resistance to obesity.

How the microbiota affects drug efficacy

Researchers developed a rapid method to investigate how diet, drugs and the microbiota interact to influence host health.

Obesity, but not diabetes, is associated with microbiota alterations

Obesity, dietary supplements and key medications such as antidiabetics are associated with changes in gut microbiota composition, a recent study claims.

Gut bacteria prevent mice from becoming obese

A study published in the journal Science identified a specific class of gut bacteria that prevents mice from becoming obese.
