Abstract
To evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterium subsp. lactis BLa80 on glycemic control and gut microbiota composition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 80 patients. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either BLa80 supplementation or placebo (n = 40 per group) in addition to standard metformin therapy for 12 weeks. Fasting blood and stool samples were collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention. The results showed that BLa80 supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, while low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were increased. Furthermore, BLa80 modulated the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota after 12 weeks of intervention. In conclusion, BLa80 supplementation may improve glycemic control and modulate the gut microbiota in patients with T2DM, suggesting its potential as an adjunctive therapy in diabetes management.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
