Core Tip Recent studies suggested that the gut microbiota has an essential role in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our study verifies the effects of berberine in regulating glucose metabolism and reducing pancreas injury in Goto-Kakizaki rats. Berberine also provides an alternative means of modulating the gut microbiota. Results revealed evidence of a decrease in Desulfobacterota, Desulfovibrionaceae and Clostridia_UCG-014 and an increase in Verrucomicrobiota, Akkermansia and Allobaculum. The correlation analysis indicated that fasting blood glucose was strongly positively correlated with Clostridia_UCG-014 and negatively correlated with Allobaculum.
