While the risk factors for Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are known, early predictive markers of transition from normal to a prediabetes state are unidentified. We studied the basal metabolism and metabolic response to a mixed-meal challenge in 110 healthy subjects in the age group of 18 to 40 years (Mal...
BACKGROUND: The gut-brain axis and the intestinal microbiota are emerging as key players in health and disease. Shifts in intestinal microbiota composition affect a variety of systems, however, evidence of their direct impact on cognitive functions is still lacking. We tested whe...
Regular consumption of fat and refined carbohydrates induces metabolic stress, increasing chronic metabolic disease risk. In healthy volunteers, we characterised the response to a high-fat/high-carbohydrate meal (HFHCM), typical of an ultra-processed food, by proteomic and metabolomics analyses, ...
The pathogenic mechanisms of many diseases are well understood at the molecular level, but there are prevalent diseases associated with pathogenic signaling, such as diabetes and chronic inflammatory disorders, where our understanding is more limited. Here we report that pathogenic signaling supp...
