Abstract
Early-life microbiota have a crucial role in healthy development. Antibiotics, on the other hand, can disrupt this beneficial interaction and have been linked to increased adiposity in children. Shelton and collaborators went deeper into the mechanism by which microbiota protect against lipid metabolic dysfunction and diet-induced obesity. The results highlight the long-term metabolic risk of early antibiotic exposure.
