Metabolites produced in intestine play central role in controlling obesity and diabetes, study shows

A study conducted at Harvard University identified a group of metabolites that travel from the intestine to the liver and then to the heart, where they are pumped throughout the body. These metabolites play an important role in controlling metabolic pathways in the liver and insulin sensitivity. This discovery may contribute to future treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The results were published in the journal Cell Metabolism.

How gut bacteria may hold the key to fighting obesity and diabetes

Scientists at Harvard University have discovered a group of tiny chemical compounds, called metabolites, that travel from the intestine to the liver and then to the heart. From there, they move through the bloodstream to the rest of the body. These metabolites play an important role in how the liver works and how sensitive the […] The post How gut bacteria may hold the key to fighting obesity and diabetes appeared first on Knowridge Science Repo…
