(4) One symptom of diabetes is the T cell destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. (4) The study was done on breeding diabetes prone rats. scientists were able to link the dietary modifications that modulate the microbiota in the gut by decreasing the composition of cecal bacteria. (4)Reducing the cecal bacteria was linked with increasing the security against the host having type 1 diabetes. Flourescent in situ hybradization was used to measure the composition of microbiota before the rats have diabetes and after the rats having diabetes. (4)Diabetes-prone rats were showed to have higher levels of Bacteriodetes compared to normal mice. In addition, a combination of antibiotics and standard diet reduces acquiring diabetes by 50 percent. (4) The chance of aquring diabetes if there was a combination of antibiotics and high-casein diet would be close to …show more content…
Individuals should have to keep in mind what kind of lifestyle they choose in order to prevent diseases from dysbiosis. It is also important to note that this new knowledge of microbiota may change our interpretation of the hygiene hypothesis. The exposure to cleaner environments at a young age often leads to the imbalance of microbiota in later life, and may induce allergies or autoimmune diseases. This could change our life choices to letting future infants be exposed to as many germs as possible, to have a more robust immune system and better microbiota diversity in their
