Scientists have recently identified specific gut bacterial species that modulate the effects of diabetes-inducing-diet on the host’s metabolism. The study concludes that the medical application of specific gut bacteria might help in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. The gut flora includes hundreds of bacterial species. It is found that an imbalance in the microbiome, or dysbiosis, has associations with adverse health outcomes.
Multiple studies have found an association between disturbance in the gut microbiome and the development of type 2 diabetes, a disease with a prevalence of 12.7% in India. A recent paper published in Nature Communications, suggests that a small number of specific bacteria might be pivotal. This research focused on important individual health impacts due to specific bacteria of the gut flora. The researchers combined pre-clinical mice study with the research…
