Study on the Molecular Mechanism of Berberine to Improve Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Complicated With Depression
Sponsor: Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University
Summary
The incidence of type 2 diabetes with comorbid depression (T2DD) is notably high, characterized by prolonged disease duration and susceptibility to recurrence. The preliminary experiments identified 5-AVAB, a gut microbiota-derived metabolite, as a potential novel biomarker for T2DD progression. Given the absence of existing research in this area, it warrants in-depth investigation. The investigators plan to collect fecal and serum samples from participants with type 2 diabetes and those with T2DD to quantify 5-AVAB levels, as well as conduct in vitro gut microbiota culturing and sequencing studies.
