Participation of the Gut Microbiome in the Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Metabolism

The gut microbiota contributes to the regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism in various human functional states through a variety of formed metabolites that can be used as energy substrates or are signaling and regulatory molecules. The review presents the results of studies on the effects of bacterial short-chain fatty acids on signaling pathways regulating skeletal muscle metabolism and providing increased physical performance and improved human health.
