Purpose of Review  The metabolic syndrome is a pathological state in which one of the key components is insulin resistance. A wide spectrum of body compartments is involved in its pathophysiology. Genetic and environmental factors such as diet and physical activity are both related to its etiology. Reversible modulation of gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, known as epigenetic modifications, has been shown to drive this complex metabolic cluster of conditions. Here, we aim to examine some of the recent research of specific epigenetically mediated mechanisms and microbiota-induced epigenetic modifications on the development of adipose tissue and obesity, β-cell dysfunction and diabetes, and hepatocytes and non-alcoholic fatty disease.    Recent Findings  DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications have been identified in this context; the integrated analysis of genome, epigenome, and transcriptome is likely to expand our knowledge of epigenetics in health and disease. Epigenetic modifications induced by diet-related microbiota or metabolites possibly contribute to the insulin-resistant state.    Summary  The identification of epigenetic signatures on diabetes and obesity may give us the possibility of developing new interventions, prevention measures, and follow-up strategies.
