The microbiota may affect people’s response to an antidiabetic drug

Some gut and mouth bacteria produce enzymes that metabolize acarbose, a common antidiabetic drug, in ways that may reduce its therapeutic efficacy. A new study published in Nature claims.

Microbiota transplant may reduce future diabetes risk

A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe suggests that the transfer of gut microbes from a mother to her offsprin could reduce the risk of developing type 1…

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.
