Abstract

Regular exercise yields a multitude of systemic benefits, many of which may be mediated through the gut microbiome. Here, we report that cecal microbial transplants (CMTs) from exercise-trained vs. sedentary mice have modest benefits in reducing skeletal muscle atrophy using a mouse model of unilaterally hindlimb-immobilization. Direct administration of top microbial-derived exerkines from an exercise-trained gut microbiome preserved muscle function and prevented skeletal muscle atrophy.
