Gut microbiota-dependent phenylpropanoic acid derivatives reduced in cancer cachexia protect against myotube atrophy

Cancer cachexia is a debilitating disease characterized by muscle atrophy. Given the gut dysbiosis in cancer cachexia and the increasing evidence of a gut-muscle axis, we explored the potential beneficial effects of bacteria-dependent metabolites on myotube atrophy. Using both hypothesis-driven and hypothesis-free approaches, in-depth metabolomic analysis of blood samples from cachectic C26…
