microbiome

Question 1

what is a negative aspect of the microbiome?

Answer 1

decreases lean mass

Question 2

we know that skeletal muscle mass is decreased in mice that do not have a microbiome thus what can we hypothesize?

Answer 2

factors within the microbiome promote muscle mass

Question 3

muscle mass is decreased following _____ treatment in mice

Answer 3

antibiotic

Question 4

gut bacterial species that positively affect skeletal muscle mass

Answer 4

lactobacillus reuteri/gasseri

Question 5

________ which are produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber, increase muscle mass

Answer 5

short chain fatty acids

Question 6

butyrate _______ skeletal muscle mass in aged mice

Answer 6

increases

Question 7

muscle mass is decreased in conjunction with reduced fecal and plasma SCFAs

Answer 7

yep

Question 8

indoxyl sulfate negatively/positively affects muscle development

Answer 8

negatively

more studies are needed to clarify the in vivo role of IS on muscle mass

Question 9

poor muscle composition is associated with insulin resistance, reduced mobility and physical function, frailty and an increased all cause mortality risk

Answer 9

yep

Question 10

muscle strength and swimming endurance capacity are improved in response to probiotic supplementation

Answer 10

yep

Question 11

what will improve muscle strength in young GFM

Answer 11

short chain fatty acids

Question 12

what so special about atheletes and their microbiomes?

Answer 12

have higher fecal SCFAs

Question 13

guys hypothesis

Answer 13

gut bacteria are associated with and are causatively involved in mechanisms related to the maintenance of lean mass and physical function in older adults
