The microbial-mammalian metabolic axis: beyond simple metabolism
Abstract
The microbiome heavily influences the metabolism of its host. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Donohoe and colleagues demonstrate that microbial butyrate, used as a fuel metabolite, prevents autophagy in colonocytes, showing that the microbial-mammalian metabolic axis goes beyond simple metabolism.
