主题：到底湿不湿，中医大师们又要打起来了 -- 胡一刀

In conclusion, our study suggests that structural alterations of gut microbiota, induced by Chinese herbal formula GQD, are associated with the anti-diabetic effects of GQD. In particular, this treatment enriched the number of beneficial bacteria, such as Faecalibacterium spp. in the gut. Although it is still unclear whether changes of gut microbiota by GQD directly contribute to the improvement of glucose homeostasis, our clinical study provides circumstantial evidence that gut microbiota might be involved.

总之，我们的研究表明，中药复方GQD引起的肠道菌群结构改变与GQD的抗糖尿病作用有关。特别是，这种治疗方法增加了肠道中有益细菌的数量，如粪便杆菌属。尽管目前尚不清楚GQD对肠道菌群的改变是否直接有助于改善血糖稳态，但我们的临床研究提供了间接证据，表明肠道菌群可能参与其中。

The gut microbiota is hypothesized to have a critical role in metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). A traditional Chinese herbal formula, Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GQD), can alleviate T2D.
