Indole-3-Propionic Acid, a Functional Metabolite of <i>Clostridium sporogenes</i>, Promotes Muscle Tissue Development and Reduces Muscle Cell Inflammation

<i>Clostridium sporogenes</i> (<i>C. sporogenes</i>), as a potential probiotic, metabolizes tryptophan and produces an anti-inflammatory metabolite, indole-3-propionic acid (IPA). Herein, we studied the effects of <i>C. sporogenes</i> and its bioactive metabolite,...
