The gut microbiota profile is associated with insulin action in humans

Abstract excerpt

The role of the gut microbiota in the induction of metabolic diseases has now been increasingly recognized worldwide. Indeed, a specific gut microbiota has been shown to characterize lean versus obese phenotypes both in humans and mice.
