Popis: ABSTRACTThe role of gut microbiota in insulin resistance (IR), Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly gaining recognition. However, the mechanisms and implications of gut bacteria in these conditions remain enigmatic. This commentary not only highlights the findings of a recent multi-omics study by Takeuchi et al. but also offers a unique perspective by integrating personal opinions and insights. The discussion revolves around the intricate connection between gut microbes and IR, suggesting novel therapeutic potential in targeting gut microbial carbohydrate metabolism for improved IR management and metabolic health.
