As an outcome, colonocytes shift to anaerobic metabolism characterised by reduced oxygen consumption thereby facilitating the growth of facultative anaerobes such as Enterobactericeae, which exploit the loss of epithelial hypoxia through aerobic respiration (Byndloss et al
Although GLP-1IIS and GIPIIS are both required to maintain blood glucose levels within normal range in healthy subjects, the reason why only GLP-1based treatments are effective in diabetes remains unknown
