Figure 1 The Many Effects of Subtherapeutic Antibiotic Treatment on Young Mice Relative to control mice, STAT results in similar total body weight but increased adiposity, dietary energy harvest, bone mineral density (BMD), and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels. These phenotypic differences were associated with changes to the gut microbial community, host lipid metabolism, and gut hormone signaling. Future studies promise to elucidate the mechanistic basis for these changes. Cell Metabolism 2012 16, 408-410DOI: (10.1016/j.cmet.2012.09.009) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
