Gut Microbiota in Obesity and Diabetes

Completed

• Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Obesity

• Registration Number: NCT02180191
• Lead Sponsor: Gulhane School of Medicine

Brief Summary

An altered gut microbiota composition has recently been linked to obesity and diabetes. The principal aim of this study was to investigate and compare the gut microbiota composition of obese, diabetic and control individuals. Then, associations between analyzed gut microbial concentrations and clinical-biochemical blood parameters were assessed.
