| Core Tip |
This study reveals that gut microbiota alterations during aging follow a nonlinear trajectory across human and rat cohorts. The key finding demonstrates increased fatty acid oxidation-related microbiota in aged individuals. Functional enrichment analysis revealed a possible association between the gut microbiota and lipid metabolism. Trimetazidine (TMZ), a fatty acid oxidation inhibitor, successfully modulated aging-associated gut microbiota and suppressed senescence markers P21 in rats. These findings establish fatty acid oxidation maybe as a crucial mechanistic link between gut microbiota and aging, positioning TMZ as a potential therapeutic intervention for healthy aging through microbiome regulation. |
