Abstract:Sarcopenia refers to an age-related decrease in muscle mass and strength. The gut–muscle axis has been proposed as a promising target to alleviate muscle atrophy. The effect of KL-Biome—a postbiotic preparation comprising heat-killed Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KM-2, its metabolites, and an excipient (soybean powder)—on muscle atrophy was evaluated using dexamethasone (DEX)-induced atrophic C2C12 myoblasts and C57BL/6J mice. KL-Biome significantly downregulated the expression of genes (Atrogin-1 and MuRF1) a… Show more
