We found associations between met￾formin use and gut microbiota composi￾tion that were largely consistent whether we compared T2D-met+ participants to ND control subjects or to T2D-met2 par￾ticipants, suggesting that metformin may have direct microbial effects. Our findings are congruent with multiple lines of evi￾dence indicating the gut-mediated glyce￾mic effect of metformin stem from alterations in the gut microbiota compo￾sition. Cabreiro et al. (28) first demon￾strated that metformin impacts the metabolism of the microbiota hosted by Caenorhabditis elegans. Three mouse studies have shown that metformin treat￾ment in mice on high-fat diet shifts the microbiota composition toward that of mice fed normal chow by increasing abundance of Akkermansia spp. (11–13). Moreover, a follow-up experiment by Shin et al. (12) found that mice fed high￾fat diets treated with either cultured A. muciniphila or metformin had similar improvements in mucin-producing gob￾let cells, proinflammatory interleukin-6, and glucose tolerance, suggesting that A. muciniphila alone may explain the beneficial effects of metformin. In human studies, a small nonrandom￾ized clinical trial of 12 patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrated that stopping metformin treatment for 7 days led to alterations in the gut microbiota and glucagon-like peptide 1 (17). A three￾country cross-sectional metagenomic study found that metformin use was pos￾itively associated with SCFA-producing bacteria (6). Metformin has also been shown to enhance active and total glucagon-like peptide 1 (17,29,30), which is consistent with the hypothesis that it increases SCFA production through modification of the gut microbiota com￾position. There is also the possibility that metformin alters glucose metabolism through effects on bile acid secretion (31). As we hypothesized, on the basis of the aforementioned nonhuman (11–13) and human (6,17) studies, metformin use in our study was associated with greater rel￾ative abundance of the mucin-degrading A. muciniphila. Through LEfSe biomarker discovery, we also found metformin was positively associated with the mucolytic bacterium B. bifidum. The higher abun￾dance of the mucin-degrading bacteria A. muciniphila and B. bifidum in the gut microbiota of metformin users suggests that metformin’s health benefits may derive from the strengthening of the in￾testinal mucosal barrier. A. muciniphila plays a crucial role in maintaining the in￾tegrity of the mucin layer, thereby reduc￾ing translocation of proinflammatory lipopolysaccharides and controlling fat storage, adipose tissue metabolism, and glucose homeostasis (1,12). Likewise, B. bifidum can grow on gastric mucin as a sole carbon source, and genome anal￾ysis revealed that this bacterium can use host mucins (32), potentially contributing to gastrointestinal health in the same way as A. muciniphila. T2D-met+ participants in our study also had higher relative abundance of some SCFA-producing bacteria, but not others (e.g., Roseburia, Subdoligranulum, Faecalibacterium). Those positively as￾sociated with metformin use included B. bifidum, Prevotella (an OTU distinct from the OTU enriched in T2D-met2 par￾ticipants), Megasphaera (a bacterium re￾lated to Megamonas), and Butyrivibrio (although this taxa was no longer signifi- cant after adjusting for multiple compar￾isons). These microbiota have been associated with production of SCFAs, in￾cluding butyrate, propionate, and acetate (26,33–35). SCFAs may be beneficial for health. Butyrate, in particular, is one of the preferred energy sources of the co￾lonic epithelium (36).
