Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed project mainly aims to investigate the microbial processes leading to dietary metabolites production, independently of long-term microbiota adaptation to the diet, by measuring the microbiota-derived metabolite production from a meal sequence rich in saturated fatty acids (SFA) or the same meals but rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in individuals with or without obesity and Type 2 diabetes (T2D)

Description:

The gut microbiota interacts with the host's enteric and systemic functions through the production of gut microbiota-derived metabolites. A subset of these metabolites, the endocannabinoids (eCB) and their congeners are derived from fatty acids and play a crucial role in metabolic health.

The research project aims to study gut microbiota-derived metabolites, including the eCB and their congeners, in response to a 2-day diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids or rich in saturated fatty acids in individuals with or without abdominal obesity and type 2 diabetes.

The investigators hope to better understand the kinetic production of circulating endocannabinoidome mediators derived from fatty acids in the diet.
