Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of low body mass index (BMI) on the progression of Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) using a specialized mouse model.
- It found that a low protein diet (LPD) worsens MAC-PD progression by disrupting lipid metabolism, leading to increased fatty acid levels and macrophage lipid accumulation during MAC infection.
- The research suggests that improving nutrient intake could help manage MAC-PD, highlighting the importance of host immune cell metabolism and the potential for targeting CD36 pathways as a treatment strategy.
