Popis: Background Bile acids (BAs) play an important role in releasing incretin hormones via the enteroendocrine L-cell surface TGR5 receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in BA concentration at baseline and in response to a meal stimulus between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a matched normoglycaemic group. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study of 12 patients with known T2DM and 12 matched normoglycaemic controls compared BA fractions after an overnight fast and following a standard meal. Results The T2DM group had higher baseline glucose (P Conclusion The post-prandial bile acid response is elevated in obese patients with T2DM compared to matched normoglycaemic individuals.
