Exercise-induced changes in gut mycobiome as a potential contributor to metabolic benefits in diabetes prevention: an integrative multi-omics study

The importance of gut microbes in mediating the metabolic benefits of lifestyle intervention is increasingly recognized. However, compared to the bacterial microbiome, the involvement of intestinal fungi in hosts response to exercise remains to be documented. This study examined the dynamics in gut mycobiome of overweight individuals during an exercise intervention and interrogated their association with exercise elicited metabolic outcomes.
