Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for modulating gut dysbiosis in diabetes mellitus. This review critically evaluates preclinical and clinical evidence on FMT in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 dia-betes (T2D). Studies suggest that FMT can restore microbial diversity, improve glycemic control, and modulate immune responses, with varying effects across diabetes subtypes. In T1D, preclinical models demonstrate that FMT influences regulatory T-cell expansion and β-cell preservation, though clinical translation remains limited. In T2D, FMT has shown transient improvements in insulin sensitivity, with sustained effects observed only in patients with specific microbiome signatures. However, heterogeneity in patient responses, donor variability, and methodological limitations complicate its clinical application. This review highlights the interplay between FMT, immune modulation, and microbial metabolism, advocating for phenotype-stratified trials and multi-omics integration to enhance therapeutic precision.

Purpose Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with ectopic fat deposition, especially in the liver and pancreas.Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between liver fat fraction (LFF), pancreatic fat fraction (PFF), and new-onset T2DM in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods This is a retrospective study of patients with MAFLD who underwent abdominal MRI between 2022 and July 2024. LFF and PFF were measured using an axial multi-echo Dixon-based sequence. All participants underwent routine medical history, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory tests. Multivariable stepwise selection models were con-structed to predict PFF and T2DM status based on variables of clinical interest.
Results This study included 80 MAFLD patients with 40 untreated new-onset T2DM and 40 non-T2DM controls. LFF, PFF, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index were higher in the T2DM group than in the control group. In the new-onset T2DM group, PFF was linearly positively correlated with LFF (rs=0.321, P=0.04) and HOMA-IR (rs=0.350, P=0.03). After adjustment for several metabolic variables, PFF remained an independent risk factor for incident T2DM in MAFLD patients (all P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for PFF and LFF to predict T2DM was 0.889 and 0.633 (P<0.001 and P=0.03), respectively.
Conclusion In MAFLD patients, PFF, and LFF play a prominent role in new-onset T2DM with high predictive and diag-nostic value.
