Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 (FMO5) as a regulator of metabolic aging. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of FMO5 in glucose homeostasis and the impact of diet and gut flora on the phenotype of mice in which the Fmo5 gene has been disrupted (Fmo5-/- mice). In comparison with wild-type (WT) counterparts, Fmo5-/- mice are resistant to age-related changes in...
