Insulin-resistance in type 2 diabetes is associated with chronic inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory actions might increase sensitivity to insulin. Since some probiotics have
anti-inflammatory properties, ingestion of the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus Acidophilus
NCFM might increase insulin-sensitivity.
The inflammatory response to endotoxin injection and the insulin-sensitivity is examined
before and after four weeks ingestion of probiotics.
