Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MG5012 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis MG741 Alleviate Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Preserve Skeletal Muscle Integrity in High-Fat-Diet-Fed Mice

These findings suggest that MG5012 and MG741 confer systemic metabolic benefits through the modulation of the gut-liver-muscle axis and may serve as promising functional food ingredients for the management of MASLD and obesity-associated muscle atrophy.
