Gut microbiota is a key modulator of insulin resistance in TLR 2 knockout mice.

Gut microbiota is a key modulator of insulin resistance in TLR 2 knockout mice.

Environmental factors and host genetics interact to control the gut microbiota, which may have a role in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. TLR2-deficient mice, under germ-free conditions, are protected from diet-induced insulin resistance. It is possible that the presence of gut mic...
