Bacteroides spp. promotes branched-chain amino acid catabolism in brown fat and inhibits obesity
25 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiome has emerged as a key regulator of obesity; however, its role in brown adipose tissue (BAT) metabolism and association with obesity remain to be elucidated. We found that the levels of circulating branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and their cognate α-ketoacids (BCKA) were significantly correlated with the body weight in humans and mice and that BCAA catabolic defects in BAT were associated with...
