High-Fat Diet and Gut Bacteria Linked to Insulin Resistance

Gut-associated IgA immune cells regulate obesity-related insulin resistance. Nature Communications, 2019; 10 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11370-y

Researchers have discovered how our choice of diet can weaken our gut immune system and lead to the development of diabetes. A growing body of research supports that during obesity, our immune system is often responding to components of bacteria that “leak” through the intestinal tissue and results in inflammation. In turn, inflammation can drive insulin resistance, which predisposes people to diabetes.

In new research published in Nature Communications this week, Dr...
