It causes a substantial economic burden, mental and physical disabilities, poor quality of life, and high mortality. Limonite is formed when iron-rich materials from the underground emerge and oxidized on the ground surface. It is currently used to purify contaminated water, absorption of irritant gases, and improve livestock breeding. Limonite can change the composition of environmental microbial communities. In the present study, we evaluated whether limonite can ameliorate glucose metabolism abnormalities by remodeling the gut microbiome.Methods: The investigation was performed using mouse models of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus and high-calorie diet-induced metabolic syndrome.Results: Oral limonite supplement was associated with significant body weight recovery, reduced glycemia with improved insulin secretion, increased number of regulatory T cells, and abundant beneficial gut microbial populations in mice with diabetes mellitus compared to control. Similarly, mice with obesity fed with limonite supplements had significantly reduced body weight, insulin resistance, steatohepatitis, and systemic inflammatory response with significant gut microbiome remodeling.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that limonite supplement ameliorates abnormal glucose metabolism in diabetes mellitus and obesity. Gut microbiome remodeling, inhibition of inflammatory cytokines, and the host immune response regulation may explain the limonite’s beneficial activity under pathological conditions in vivo.Keywords: insulin resistance, limonite, diabetes, streptozotocin, metabolic syndrome, gut microbiomeUchida AYasuma TTakeshita AToda MOkano YNishihama KD'Alessandro-Gabazza CNFridman D'Alessandro VInoue CTakagi TMukaiyama HTakagi NShimizu KYano YGabazza ECDove Medical Pressarticleinsulin resistancelimonitediabetesstreptozotocinmetabolic syndromegut microbiomePathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
