Early overfeeding speeds muscle loss and shortens life in mice

Overfeeding young mice damaged gut microbes, impaired muscle cell energy production, and worsened age-related muscle wasting in later life.Overfeeding young mice damaged gut microbes, impaired muscle cell energy production, and worsened age-related muscle wasting in later life.
