Article Synopsis
- Individuals with long-term type 1 diabetes may have an increased risk of heart issues due to inflammation caused by gut microbiota entering the bloodstream, leading to atherosclerosis.
- A study involving 102 people with type 1 diabetes and 63 controls measured several biomarkers related to gut inflammation and assessed coronary atherosclerosis using advanced imaging techniques.
- The results indicated that higher levels of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) were linked to significant coronary artery blockages, suggesting it could be a potential marker for heart disease in diabetes patients.
