Microbiota-derived indole-3-propionic acid regulates glucose homeostasis via remodeling of hepatic mitochondrial metabolism

Or Maalumi, Ziv Ben Moshe, Or Blank, Rachel Barkan-Michaeli, Avihu H. Yona, Kfir Sharabi

This study identifies indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a microbial metabolite, as a regulator of hepatic glucose metabolism by remodeling mitochondrial function and improving glucose homeostasis in mice.
