Metronidazole Causes Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Modulates Muscle Chronometabolism
16 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotics lead to increased susceptibility to colonization by pathogenic organisms, with different effects on the host-microbiota relationship. Here, we show that metronidazole treatment of specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice results in a significant increase of the bacterial phylum Proteobacteria in fecal pellets. Furthermore, metronidazole in SPF mice decreases hind limb muscle weight and results in smaller...
