Abstract

Child obesity constitutes a risk factor for developing insulin resistance which, if sustained, could lead to more severe conditions like type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adulthood. Our study identified previously unknown species whose depletion ( Blautia luti and Blautia wexlerae ) is associated with insuli...
