Adipose tissue derived bacteria are associated with inflammation in obesity and type 2 diabetes
21 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Objective Bacterial translocation to various organs including human adipose tissue (AT) due to increased intestinal permeability remains poorly understood. We hypothesised that: (1) bacterial presence is highly tissue specific and (2) related in composition and quantity to immune inflammatory and metabolic burden. Design We quantified and sequenced the bacterial 16S rRNA gene in blood and AT samples (omental,...
