description Pasteurized <i>Akkermansia muciniphila</i> (p-AKK) is related to lipid metabolism and helps control obesity. The main goal of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of p-AKK in lipid metabolism using <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>. The results showed that p-AKK increased the healthy lifespan of nematodes and helped maintain exercise ability in aging, suggesting a potential increase in energy expenditure. The overall fat deposition and triglyceride level were significantly decreased and the p-AKK anti-oxidative stress helped to regulate fatty acid composition. Additionally, the transcriptome results showed that p-AKK increased the expression of lipo-hydrolase and fatty acid β-oxidation-related genes, including <i>lipl-4</i>, <i>nhr-49</i>, <i>acs-2</i> and <i>acdh-8</i>, while it decreased the expression of fat synthesis-related genes, including <i>fat-7</i>, <i>elo-2</i> and <i>men-1</i>. These results partially explain the mechanisms underlying the fact that p-AKK decreases fat accumulation of <i>C. elegans</i> via <i>nhr-49</i>/<i>acs-2</i>-mediated signaling involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and synthesis.
