Deciphering the anti-obesity mechanisms of pharmabiotic probiotics through advanced multiomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Probiotics with "pharmabiotic" properties are increasingly recognized as effective tools for combating obesity by altering gut microbiota and reducing body fat. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-obesity effects remain largely unexplored due to the absence of a universal methodology. Herein, we developed a multiomics-based strategy to elucidate how probiotics reduce lipid production in adipocytes. Our initial investigation assessed the impact of probiotics at defined adipocyte differentiation stages. Leveraging these insights, we performed comprehensive multiomics analyses at key intervals to identify the suppression mechanisms of lipid formation. Lactobacillus reuteri, specifically, targets early differentiation stages, inhibits branched-chain amino acid catabo
