Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Male obese subjects with an impaired glucose tolerance or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (fasting glucose > 6,0 mmol/l); 2. Age 18-55 yr; 3. BMI>30 kg/m2.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Medication known to interfere with glucose metabolism or bowel flora composition; 2. Severe hypertriglyceridemia or any other lipid metabolism disorder; 3. Intensive sports (> three times weekly).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoints are changes in bile acid composition.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints are changes in hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance (assessed by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp at baseline and after 12 weeks), metabolic parameters (lipid profile, glycemic control) as well as changes in faecal microbiota, glucose and lipid content (assessed by analysing faeces samples). Finally, muscle and adipose tissue samples will be obtained to assess D2 mRNA and activity and phosphorylation status of the insulin signalling cascade.
