To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2017 Sep 1;102(9):3261-3267At a histological level congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is classified into three forms, namely diffuse, focal and atypical. The atypical forms display histological mosacism (heterogeneous populations of islets, which appear to be resting or quiescent and localized to particular domains/lobes of the pancreas) but the m...

Brief summary: Using in-depth multi-omics analyses of human type 1 diabetes (T1D) samples, the authors profiled gut microbial functional and metabolic alterations. The T1D microbiota showed decreased butyrate production and bile acid metabolism and increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. Fecal microbiota transplantation in animal models proved that T1D gut microflora is a causative factor in the regulation of glucose metabolism.The etiology of T...
