The changing view of bile acids and diabetes

Research Pulse podcast Season 1 Episode 3     

Bile acids do more than break down dietary fats for digestion — research shows they also play a key role in blood sugar regulation.

We speak to Professor Chris Rayner, a consultant gastroenterologist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Professor in the Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide.

 

We learn about:

  • the changing view of bile and it’s roll in signalling hormones that regulate blood sugar
  • how bile acid medicine can help to regulate blood sugar
  • why the lower gut is so influential in controlling type 2 diabetes
