Arrhythmic Gut Microbiome Signatures Predict Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

Reitmeier et al. show that specific gut microbes exhibit rhythmic oscillations in relative abundance and identified taxa with disrupted rhythmicity in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This arrhythmic signature contributed to the classification and prediction of T2D, suggesting functional links between circadian rhythmicity and the microbiome in metabolic diseases.
