Gut bugs and night shifts: new study links TMAO to diabetes risk

NCT ID NCT05251207

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at how a substance called TMAO, made by gut bacteria from L-carnitine, might affect insulin resistance—a key step toward diabetes. Researchers will give 40 healthy adults L-carnitine supplements and also have them do simulated night-shift work to see how these factors change blood markers and insulin sensitivity. The goal is to better understand the connection between diet, gut bacteria, and diabetes risk.
