Figure 4 Possible mechanisms of gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
A variety of independent mechanisms that influence the development of diabetes mellitus via the gut microbiota are summarized. Short-chain fatty acids, branched-chain amino acids, endotoxin leakage, bile acid signaling, and gut permeability might be considered to participate in the process of type 2 diabetes mellitus. SCFAs: Short-chain fatty acids; BCAAs: Branched-chain amino acids; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide.
