LY86 and Menkes disease: In this review, we aim to examine in depth how intestinal dysbiosis can modulate the metabolic state, the immune response, and mitochondrial biogenesis in the course and progression of the most investigated MDs such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Myotonic Dystrophy (MD1), to better identify gut microbiota metabolites working as therapeutic adjuvants to improve symptoms of MD.
