Research Progress on the Interaction between Gut Microbiota and Mitochondria Regulating Animal Fat Deposition
Fat content is one of the main factors affecting the quality of livestock meat.The distri-bution of fat in muscles is closely related to the color,palatability,flavor,tenderness and hydra-tion of meat,and intramuscular fat is regarded as a key indicator for evaluating meat quality.In-testinal microbiota and mitochondria,as the largest microecosystem and cellular"power facto-ries"in the body,play important bridging roles between lipid metabolism and cellular metabo-lism.At present,research on the gut microbiome and mitochondria is relatively extensive,but the impact of their interaction on fat deposition is not yet clear.This article reviews the research on gut microbiota and their metabolite functions and fatty acid metabolism,fat deposition and mitochondrial function,as well as the regulatory mechanisms of gut microbiota and their metabo-lite interactions with mitochondria on fat deposition,in order to provide references and ideas for improving animal meat quality through gut microbiota and mitochondria.
