Microglia-mediated neurotoxicity: uncovering the molecular mechanisms
FFA2 is activated predominantly by propionate and FFA3 by butyrate [EC 50 for acetate, propionate and butyrate at FFA2 are 431, 290 and 371 M respectively, and at FFA3 393, 41 and 33 M ( The gut microbiome is altered in obesity and T2D, an effect known as dysbiosis, where the ratio of the main bacterial phyla ( Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes ) becomes imbalanced, reducing diversity while the relative abundance of certain bacteria, including opportunistic pathogens, increases (Larsen et al., 2010)
It is conceivable that the modulation of AMPK activity by these analogs may enhance cellular glucose uptake under energy stress conditions
