DISEASES
• the elucidation of the molecular mechanistic pathway
• on the role of gut microbiota in the gut-brain axis is not
• moving forward as expected.
• This is because the elucidation of the molecular mechanistic pathway of gut
microbiota in the gutbrain axis depends on precise high throughput identifi
cation of the microbial organisms constituting gut microbiota. Although there
were some techniques utilized to identify microbial organisms constituting gut
microbiota, current technological
• advances make the high-throughput identifi cation of individual
• microbial components of gut microbiota possible.
• Especially, the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled
• the metagenomic and meta-transcriptomic analysis for high
• throughput identification of microbial organisms constituting
• gut microbiota
• Human gut microbiome is dominated by
four phyla:
• Firmicutes
• Bacteroidetes
• Proteobacteria
• Actinobacteria
ROLE IN HEALTH
• Regulation of digestive processes including GI motility,
secretion,absorption and blood flow
• Regulation of food intake & glucose metabolism
• Modulation of the gut-associated immune system
• Synchronization of physical and emotional
states impacting on the GI tract.

Obesity
• Impaired energy homeostasis
Significantly lower
• Akkermansia muciniphyla
• Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
• Bacteroides/Prevotella group
• Candida spp., and Saccharomyces spp.
• Regulation of fasting-induced adipose factor
(FIAF) expression
• FIAF - protein produced by enterocyte
• Inhibits lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
• Unbalanced gut microbiota suppress FIAF
• Increase LPL activity and triglyceride
accumulation in adipose tissue
MECHANISM
• Increased systemic lipopolysaccharide
• Changes in bile acid metabolism
• Alterations in short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production
• Alterations in gut hormone secretion
• Changes in circulating branched chain amino acids
Mechanisms Linking the Gut Microbiome and Glucose Metabolism

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 101: 1445–1454, 2016
The “Leaky Gut” Hypothesis and
Endotoxemia
• LPS- endotoxin- gram negative bacteria
• Stimulate inflammation via TLR-4 and TGF beta
activation ------ sepsis
• Higher systemic LPS / LPS binding protein
• Low-grade, chronic inflammation
• Obesity, Metabolic syndrome and T2DM.
QUANTITATIVE
QUALITATIVE
• Highly conserved inner region –
Lipid A
• Subtle changes such as
Differential phosphorylation
• Increase in affinity of LPS to
TLR 4 Receptors
• LPS can be taken up by gut epithelial cells
• Incorporated into chylomicrons in the small intestine after
a high-fat meal.
• Lps contains a lipid moiety
Taken up by enterocytes and transported to the golgi
apparatus , where chylomicrons are also formed
GUT MICROBIOME & PERMEABILITY
• Probiotics (Streptococcus thermophilus/
Lactobacillus acidophilus)
• Prevented increases in permeability induced by
TNF or gamma IFN
• In mouse models, high-fat feeding leads to
dramatic changes in the gut microbiota, glucose
intolerance, insulin resistance, increased plasma
LPS, intestinal permeability, inflammation, and
oxidative stress.
GUT MICROBIOME & BILE ACID METABOLISM
Gut microbial composition can
alter the amount and type of
secondary bile acids
Bacterial enzymes and genes
involved in the deconjugation
(bile salt hydrolase),
dehydroxylation and
epimerization of bile acids are
distributed across many genera
Reduced abundance of Gut
microbial bsh genes observed
in individuals with t2dm
compared to healthy controls
Effects of Bile Acid Metabolites on
Glucose Homeostasis
• Farnesoid X receptor is expressed in the ileum, liver, and
pancreas
• ILEUM:
• FGF-19-affects glucose tolerance through mechanisms that
are largely independent of insulin .
• Activation of TGR5 leads to production of GLP-1
Pancreas:
• Insulin transport and secretion
• Protect islets against lipotoxicity
• LIVER:
• Improves insulin sensitivity via shp-and sterol regulatory
element binding protein-1c (srebp-1c)-dependent
mechanisms
Role of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)
• Bacteria in the colon ferment nondigestible carbohydrates
into SCFAs, with acetate, butyrate, and propionate
• Interplay between dietary fiber content, microbiota and SCFAs
• SCFAs are also produced during amino acid catabolism by gut
bacteria
• 17–38% of the SCFA produced in the cecum and
sigmoid/rectum from proteins
SCFA - Functions
 Butyrate: energy source for colonocytes
 Propionate: substrates for lipogenesis and
gluconeogenesis
 Acetate: substrate for peripheral cholesterol synthesis
 Stimulate fatty acid oxidation
 Inhibit de novo lipogenesis
 Signalling molecules by activating AMP kinase and free
fatty acid receptors 2 and 3
 Regulate secretion of gut hormones-GLP-1& anorectic
hormone peptide YY (PYY)
• Butyrate has received increased focus as a
potential beneficial intermediary.
• Butyrate producing bacteria are less abundant
in subjects with T2DM
• Butyrate supplementation improves insulin
sensitivity
SCFA + SCFA receptors
L cells
GLP 1 and Peptide YY
Promote satiety
Glucose mediated

Microbial Synthesis of Amino Acids
• Branched chain amino acids contribute to
Obesity and Insulin resistance.
• Certain species of gut bacteria can synthesize
Branched chain aminoacid s.
ISOLEUCINE, LEUCINE, VALINE,
TYROSINE & PHENYLALANINE

prevention & treatment of metabolic
dysregulation
• Improving the obesity, insulin resistance, &
metabolic syndrome
Vrieze A et al. Transfer of intestinal microbiota from lean donors
increases insulin sensitivity in individuals with metabolic syndrome.
Gastroenterology

ACARBOSE….
Metformin and the gastrointestinal tract
Laura J. McCreight & Clifford J. Bailey & Ewan R. Pearson
Diabetologia (2016) 59:426–435
CHALLENGES…
• Majority of microbiome not cultivable
• Long term prospective cohort studies to
define causative process
• Use of intestinal biopsy and genomic
sequencing rather than fecal samples
• Gut microbiota is an “invisible organ” of the human body
• Vital for normal metabolism and immuno-modulation
• The number and diversity of microbes differ across the gastrointestinal tract from
the mouth to the anus, and is most abundant in the intestine.
Anti diabetic drugs
• 1. Therapeutic efficacy and potential side
effects--influenced by resident microbiota
• 2. Antidiabetic drugs alter GM composition
microbial shift increasing SCFAs
concentration
enhanced the presence of
Bifidobacterium Mlongum and reduced
LPS levels.
• 1. VOGLIBOSE= decreased Firmicutes to
Bacteroidetes ratio
• Lactobacillus, Faecalibacterium,
• and Dialister up-regulation Butyricicoccus,
Phascolarctobacterium, and Ruminococcus
Reduction
• 2. Increase in SCFA
• 3.Decrease in LPS
• sitagliptin and vildagliptin, modulate GM.
• they restore the GM composition increasing
the abundance of Bacteroidetes
• liraglutide administration promoted the
• expression of SCFA producing bacteria.
• SGLT2 inhibitors-no change in GM
METFORMIN
• therapeutic effects are mediated by the GM
• strengthening of tight junction
• there are indeed specific microbiotic clusters able to
• predict the efficacy of metformin therapy in diabetic
• Patients
• an increased presence of Prevotella copri appears
• to limit the ability of reducing glycated hemoglobin
• (HbA1c)
• Similarly, an increased presence of Streptococcus parasanguinis before
starting antidiabetic
• treatment is predictive of metformin-associated side-effects
• associated with a higher production of SCFAs
• the different efficacy achieved by a given
nutritional intervention in different
enterotypes confirms the hypothesis that
• everyone should be offered a personalized
strategy,‘tailor-made’ according to the
composition of her/his
• microbiota.
Effects of exercise
HIGH INTENSITY
• dysbiosis
• “exerciseinduced gastrointestinal syndrome”
impacts on its composition,
MODERATE INTENSITY
• Increasing Akkermansia muciniphila
• and Oscillospira
• Increase in SCFAs and lactic acid-production
PRE VS PROBIOTICS
DO THEY IMPROVE GLYCEMIC CONTROL?
• Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, can
also improve lipid profile and reduce fasting
glycaemia
• Akkermansia muciniphila CAN regenerate
• the intestinal barrier, reduce inflammation,
and improve metabolic processes.
• this strategy only can be adjuvant and not
curative itself.
PRE BIOTICS
• Complex carbohydrates, polyphenols, and
polyunsaturated Fas
• increase stool consistency and can be fermented to
SCFAs.
• For example, oligo-fructose has
• shown positive effects on glucose homeostasis,
inflammation,leptin sensitivity, GLP-1 production,
• Berberine, resveratrol,alliin, capsaicin, betacyanin, and
cranberry proanthocyanins have also shown
antidiabetic effects
Diabetes and fecal microbiota transplantation
(FMT)
• the transfer of stools from a healthy donor
into another subject’s gastrointestinal
• tract, aiming to change the recipient’s GM
• gaining health benefit
• Currently successful for for recurrent and
• refractory Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI)
• FMT may not only improve insulin
• Sensitivity
• alter the natural course of type I
• diabetes by modulating autoimmunity.
• success of microbial modulation
• depends on the tested strains, on its composition
• and diversity, on the patients pre-existing microbial
diversity
• and his genetic fingerprint. However, there are
• some risks related to FMT that should be taken into
• account. Major concerns regard the transfer of infectious
• disease or the promotion of dysbiotic status which
• could promote the development of disorders linked to
• GM

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Most DNA in our body is NOT our own; We are only 46% human
  • #12 Diet-induced obesity dampens cyclical microbiota fluctuations. Time-restricted feeding in mice, in which food is available only during the nocturnal active phase, partially restores these cyclical fluctuations
