Recent research has highlighted the essential role of the microbiome in maintaining skeletal muscle physiology. The microbiota influences muscle health by regulating lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, and insulin sensitivity. However, metabolic disturbances such as obesity can lead to dysbiosis, impairing muscle function. Time-restricted feeding (TRF) has been shown to mitigate obesity-related muscle dysfunction, but its effects on restoring healthy microbiomes remain poorly understood. This study utilizes 16S microbiome analysis and bacterial supplementation to investigate the bacterial communities influenced by TRF that may benefit skeletal muscle physiology. In wild-type and obese Drosophila models (axenic models devoid of natural microbial communities), the absence of microbiota influence muscle performance and metabolism differently. Specifically, axenic wild-type Drosophila exhibited reduced muscle performance, higher glucose levels, insulin resistance, ectopic lipid accumulation, and decreased ATP levels. Interestingly, in obese Drosophila (induced by a high-fat diet or predisposed obesity mutant Sk2), the absence of microbiota improved muscle performance, lowered glucose levels, reduced insulin resistance, and increased ATP levels. TRF was found to modulate microbiota composition, notably increasing Acetobacter pasteurianus (AP) and decreasing Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in both obesity models. Supplementation with AP improved muscle performance and reduced glucose and insulin resistance, while SA supplementation had the opposite effect. This study provides novel insights into the complex interactions between TRF, microbiota, and skeletal muscle physiology in different Drosophila models.
最近的研究突出了微生物群落在维持骨骼肌生理机能方面的重要作用。微生物群通过调节脂质代谢、蛋白质合成和胰岛素敏感性来影响肌肉健康。然而,肥胖等代谢紊乱会导致生态失调,损害肌肉功能。限时进食(TRF)已被证明可减轻与肥胖相关的肌肉功能障碍,但其对恢复健康微生物群的影响仍知之甚少。本研究利用16S微生物群分析和细菌补充来研究受TRF影响的可能有益于骨骼肌生理机能的细菌群落。在野生型和肥胖果蝇模型(缺乏天然微生物群落的无菌模型)中,微生物群的缺失对肌肉性能和代谢的影响有所不同。具体而言,无菌野生型果蝇表现出肌肉性能下降、血糖水平升高、胰岛素抵抗、异位脂质积累和ATP水平降低。有趣的是,在肥胖果蝇(由高脂饮食诱导或具有肥胖易感性突变体Sk2)中,微生物群的缺失改善了肌肉性能、降低了血糖水平、降低了胰岛素抵抗并提高了ATP水平。研究发现TRF可调节微生物群组成,在两种肥胖模型中均显著增加巴氏醋杆菌(AP)并减少金黄色葡萄球菌(SA)。补充AP可改善肌肉性能并降低血糖和胰岛素抵抗,而补充SA则产生相反的效果。本研究为不同果蝇模型中TRF、微生物群和骨骼肌生理机能之间的复杂相互作用提供了新的见解。
