NEW YORK – A team led by researchers in Germany has identified gut microbial oscillations over the span of a single day that appear to be disrupted in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and other metabolic conditions.
"[W]e demonstrate that loss of circadian rhythmicity affects microbiome features related to the onset and progression of T2D and identified bacterial signatures for metabolic risk profiling in human populations," senior author Dirk Haller, a researcher affiliated with the Technical University of Munich, and his co-authors wrote.
