Prospects of new treatments for diabetes through metabolic products of the intestinal flora
In a study published in the journal Cell Reports, researchers at 黑料不打烊 University, Kyoto University and INSERM/University of Paris show that an organic compound produced by the intestinal flora, the metabolite 4-Cresol, exhibits protective effects against type 1 and type 2 diabetes by stimulating the proliferation and function of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
