Insulin Longitudinal Evaluation Study News Today

Early results from an on-going study have suggested that different types of gut bacteria could contribute to, or protect against, the development of type 2 diabetes. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California have found that those with higher levels of Coprococcus were more likely to have greater insulin sensitivity, while people with raised levels […]

People with higher levels of the gut bacteria Coprococcus tend to have higher insulin sensitivity, while those with higher levels of Flavonifractor have lower levels of insulin sensitivity. Researchers say specific gut bacteria could play a significant role in the development of Type 2 diabetes.

One type of bacteria found in the gut may contribute to the development of Type 2 diabetes, while another may protect from the disease, according to early results from an ongoing, prospective study led by investigators at Cedars-Sinai.
