Metronidazole causes skeletal muscle atrophy and modulates muscle chronometabolism by Manickam, Ravikumar, Oh, Hui Yun Penny, Tan, Chek Kun, Paramalingam, Eeswari, Wahli, Walter

“…PPARγ and one of its important target genes, adiponectin, are also upregulated by metronidazole. Metronidazole in germ-free (GF) mice increases the expression of other core clock genes, such as Bmal1 and Per2, as well as the metabolic regulators FoxO1 and Pdk4, suggesting a microbiota-independent pharmacologic effect. …”

The gut microbiota and developmental programming of the testis in mice by Al-Asmakh, Maha, Stukenborg, Jan-Bernd, Reda, Ahmed, Anuar, Farhana, Strand, Mona-Lisa, Hedin, Lars, Pettersson, Sven, Söder, Olle

“…Here we used specific pathogen free (SPF) mice and germ-free (GF) mice to explore whether gut microbiota and/or their metabolites can influence testis development and regulation of BTB. …”
