Altered Microbiota Contributes to Reduced Diet-Induced Obesity upon Cold Exposure
Abstract: SummaryMaintenance of body temperature in cold-exposed animals requires induction of thermogenesis and management of fuel. Here, we demonstrated that reducing ambient temperature attenuated diet-induced obesity (DIO), which was associated with increased iBAT thermogenesis and a plasma bile acid profile similar to that of germ-free mice. We observed a marked shift in the microbiome composition at the phylum and family levels within 1 day of acute cold exposure and after 4 weeks at 12°C. Gut microbiota was chara…

“…Levels of these markers showed already higher expression at first PCR+ time point with respect to their baseline, but peaked at 3-10 days after infection. IL-8 and CCL3 which have been reported as COVID-19 severity markers ( 21 , 37 – 39 ) and TNF-β was found in less severe disease ( 9 ), which is in agreement with our findings.…”

“…Simpson index, an indicator of alpha diversity, was significantly decreased when the rats were intermittently exposed to severe cold (Additional file 1 : Fig. S3A), which was consistent with the previous report [ 38 ]. On the contrary, AA treatment increased the Simpson index although there was no statistical significance (Additional file 1 : Fig.…”

“…Relative abundance plots illustrate the composition of the microbiota in each group over time ( Figure 5A and Table S1 ) ( Shreiner et al., 2015 ). Prominent in the Chow-fed group were members of four well known bacterial phyla: Firmicutes (60 ± 8.5%), Bacteroidetes (33.460 ± 7.1%), Proteobacteria (1.675 ± 0.2%), and Actinobacteria (1.012 ± 0.2%), at day 0, consistent with previous reports ( David et al., 2014 ; Ziętak et al., 2016 ). The microbial composition remained relatively stable throughout the 12 week experiment for mice fed a Chow diet.…”
