Popis: Background. The purpose of the study was to assess the functional state of gut microbiota in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and methods. The prospective interventional randomized study included 71 patients with MAFLD in combination with T2DM, who were examined and divided into the 2 groups. The first group included 39 people with MAFLD and T2DM without small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). The second group consisted of 32 patients with MAFLD in combination with T2DM and SIBO. The control group included 25 practically healthy patients. The content of serum zonulin was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using test systems IDK Zonulin ELISA, KR5601. Serum concentration of interleukin (IL) 6 and IL-10 was assessed by the ELISA method using the Human Interleukin 6 and 10 ELISA Kit test systems. The content of short-chain fatty acids in feces was determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry in the PerkinElmer Clarus 680 GC Gas Chromatograph. Results. Patients of the first and second groups had an increase in hepatic aminotransferases, total cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, glycosylated hemoglobin, serum zonulin, leptin, IL-6 and liver attenuation coefficient and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein. The results of steatometry revealed a severe degree of hepatic steatosis (S3) in patients with MAFLD combined with T2DM and SIBO and without SIBO. During the quantitative study of the level of butyric acid in feces, it was found to be significantly reduced, by 2.3 times in the first group and by 3.4 times in the second one, compared to the controls (p
