The gut acts as a barrier to bacteria and nutrients and participates in glucose homeostasis via endocrine actors and the gut-brain-peripheral axis. It is unclear how T2D alters microbes in upper and lower intestine of humans. Studies in animals show that T2D promotes translocation of microbes to the blood and tissues to promote metabolic dysfunction. It is crucial to determine whether bacteria or their components subvert the gut barrier in human T2D, and then to identity the relevant bacterial strains in tissues that control blood glucose. The overall objective of our research program is to demonstrate that specific microbes in the gut, circulation, and key metabolic tissues are involved in the progression of T2D. We will define the microbial signatures of T2D in duodenal biopsies and stool samples by comparing T2D and non-T2D subjects.
