Scientists find innovative method to combat diabetes by targeting gut microbes
Originally Published 4 months ago — by Times of India
Canadian scientists have discovered a new approach to managing diabetes by targeting gut microbes, specifically the molecule D-lactate, which influences blood sugar and fat storage. They developed a 'gut substrate trap' that captures D-lactate, improving blood sugar control and liver health in obese mice without dietary changes. This innovative strategy could lead to new, internal-focused diabetes treatments that address root causes rather than just symptoms.
