| Abstract: | Objective To contrast and analyze the difference of metabolites of intestinal flora between patients with type 2 diabetes and normal blood glucose human in Xinjiang Uygur and Kazak. Methods Uygur fecal samples and Kazak fecal samples were collected, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) were extracted by water from feces, then the content of SCFA in fecal samples was analyzed by gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS). Results Both Uygurs and Kazaks, in their feces, the content of SCFA in the feces showed significantly decreased in patients with type 2 diabetes, and a significant negative linear correlation was shown between the fasting plasma glucose and the concentration of SCFA in the fecal samples. But, there was no statistical differences between uygurs and kazaks, in not only normal blood glucose group, but also type 2 diabetes group. Conclusion The feces of patients with type 2 diabetes has an decreased concentration of SCFA. Between Uygurs and Kazaks, the metabolic changes of intestinal flora was similar in patients with type 2 diabetes. |
