• Identification of three bacterial species associated with increased appendicular lean mass: the HUNT study 

      Grahnemo, Louise; Nethander, Maria; Coward, Eivind; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Sree, Satya; Billod, Jean-Marc; Sjögren, Klara; Engstrand, Lars; Dekkers, Koen F.; Fall, Tove; Langhammer, Arnulf; Hveem, Kristian; Ohlsson, Claes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Appendicular lean mass (ALM) associates with mobility and bone mineral density (BMD). While associations between gut microbiota composition and ALM have been reported, previous studies rely on relatively small sample sizes. ...
    • Transplantation of gut microbiota from old mice into young healthy mice reduces lean mass but not bone mass 

      Lawenius, Lina; Cowardin, Carrie; Grahnemo, Louise; Scheffler, Julia M.; Horkeby, Karin; Engdahl, Cecilia; Wu, Jianyao; Vandenput, Liesbeth; Koskela, Antti; Tukkanen, Juha; Coward, Eivind; Hveem, Kristian; Langhammer, Arnulf; Abrahamsson, Sanna; Gordon, Jeffrey I.; Sjögren, Klara; Ohlsson, Claes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aging is associated with low bone and lean mass as well as alterations in the gut microbiota (GM). In this study, we determined whether the reduced bone mass and relative lean mass observed in old mice could be transferred ...
