Probiotics supplementation and insulin resistance: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Research on intestinal microbiota has grown considerably, as well as the interest on probiotics' supplementation effects on metabolism. Considering high prevalence rates of metabolic diseases linked by insulin resistance, we performed a systematic review of existing literature which addressed the role of probiotics in modulating insulin sensitivity in animals and humans.

Methods

This systematic review was based on PRISMA guidelines.
