Studies have reported OCTN2 expression in respiratory epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages, which is especially high in the upper lung region [301], and OCTN2-mediated carnitine uptake plays an important role in maintaining respiratory cilia beating and airway mucociliary clearance function, helping to remove excess mucus and potentially harmful substances from the airway [302]
The role for gut-associated bacteria in T1D development was further reinforced through antibiotic treatment that reduced disease symptoms in experimental models and promoted sterile pancreatic lymph nodes (Costa et al
