What is the relationship between indoxyl sulfate (IS) and fasting glucose levels in adolescents with obesity?

Label:chem

Topic
A study explored correlations between gut-derived Trp metabolites and markers of cardiometabolic health, including fasting glucose levels.
Answer
Indoxyl sulfate (IS) was positively correlated with fasting glucose (rho = 0.47, p = 0.012), and adolescents with impaired fasting glucose had 1.6-fold higher IS levels.
