On the other hand, the immune system regulates its responses through the action of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in part through beta-adrenergic receptors 1\/2 (ADRB1\/2). In the past years, a clear link has been established between the immune system, SNS, and the modification of nutrient absorption by the gut microbiota in the development of diet-induced obesity. We have previously shown in male mice transplanted with bone marrow cells ADRB1\/2 knock-out mice (KD) showed mild immunosuppression and microbiota changes. Post-recovery, mice were challenged with high-fat diet (HFD) for two weeks\n                  <jats:italic>ad libitum<\/jats:italic>\n                  . Our findings show that KD mice are protected against diet-induced adiposity and weight gain. Additionally, these mice showed an increase in residual calorific values and a decreased expression of the fatty acid transporter FAT\/CD36. Suggesting a decreased absorption of lipids in the KD mice. Gut microbiota analysis showed that KD microbiota composition on a HFD remained stable with a significant enrichment in the\n                  <jats:italic>Bacteroidetes phylum<\/jats:italic>\n                  , which is depleted in obesity. This was associated with a switch from triglycerides to diglyceride fecal profile. Moreover, microbiome culture showed a decrease in triglycerides after an incubation with 0.1% of HFD lipid extract. Suggesting a potential role of the\n                  <jats:italic>Bacteroidetes phylum<\/jats:italic>\n                  in the metabolism of these lipids. Our findings demonstrate not only that the gut microbiota can modify nutrient absorption and susceptibility to diet-induced obesity but also that the immune system contributes to selective depletion of microbial members that would otherwise thrive on dietary lipids. Revealing a novel mechanism by which host immunity sculpts the gut ecosystem in ways that influence metabolic outcomes.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.64898\/2026.03.05.707516","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,8]],"date-time":"2026-03-08T04:20:28Z","timestamp":1772943628000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Loss of Bone Marrow \u03b21\/\u03b22-Adrenergic Receptors Reprograms Host-Microbiota Interactions and Protects Against Diet-Induced Obesity"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5324-6074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriana","family":"Alviter-Plata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Brain and Spine, College of Medicine, University of South Florida Microbiomes Institute, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33613"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niousha","family":"Ahmari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology.
