The effect of the intestinal microbiota on the development of diabetes mellitus

Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the pathogenetic role of intestinal microflora in the development of diabetes mellitus. The review presents data on the peculiarities of the development of the intestinal microflora (MC), factors that determine the occurrence of dysbiosis, as well as the effect of dysbiotic changes in MC on the pathogenesis of various types of diabetes mellitus. The role of MC in the occurrence of insulin resistance, as well as the metabolism of peptides that determine eating behavior, has been studied. The contribution of short-chain fatty acids produced by microorganisms to the regulation of metabolism in diabetes mellitus is considered, and the role of pathogenicity factors of MC representatives is studied. Conclusion. The gut microbiota makes a significant contribution to the regulation of metabolism through various mechanisms. The resulting dysbiotic changes can negatively affect metabolic processes and be a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus. The identification of new pathogenetic pathways can be useful in finding points of application of drug therapy, which will contribute to improving the results of DM treatment.
