| immunoprotective effect of probiotic dahi containing lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidum on dextran sodium sulfate-induced ulcerative colitis in mice. | in the present study, probiotic dahi (labb dahi) containing lactobacillus acidophilus lavk2 and bifidobacterium bifidum bbvk3 was selected as a probiotic therapy to investigate its protective effect on dextran sodium sulfate (dss)-induced ulcerative colitis model in mice that mimics the picture in human. labb dahi was prepared by co-culturing dahi bacteria (lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris ncdc-86 and lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar diacetylactis ncdc-60) along with selected strain of l. a ... | 2012 | 26781733 |
| effect of the consumption of a new symbiotic shake on glycemia and cholesterol levels in elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. | the consumption of foods containing probiotic and prebiotic ingredients is growing consistently every year, and in view of the limited number of studies investigating their effect in the elderly. | 2012 | 22356933 |
| interaction of bifidobacterium bifidum lmg13195 with ht29 cells influences regulatory-t-cell-associated chemokine receptor expression. | probiotics play an important role in the maintenance of the gastrointestinal barrier. in addition to direct effects on mucosal integrity, the interaction with the intestinal mucosa may have an active immunoregulatory effect. in the present work, we exposed ht29 intestinal epithelial cells to two bifidobacterium species to determine their effect on gene expression profile, enterocyte monolayer integrity, and t-cell response. bifidobacterium breve ipla 20004 triggered a more pronounced increase in ... | 2012 | 22344636 |
| bifidobacterium bifidum in a rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis: antimicrobial peptide and protein responses. | necrotizing enterocolitis (nec) is a devastating disease of premature infants. probiotics decrease the risk of nec in clinical and experimental studies. antimicrobial peptides protect the gut against noxious microbes and shape the commensal microbiota, but their role in nec remains unclear. | 2012 | 22322385 |
| effects of bifidobacterium bifidum g9-1 on nasal symptoms in a guinea pig model of experimental allergic rhinitis. | recent studies of several animal models have shown beneficial effects of probiotics against allergic responses. however, few reports have examined the effects of probiotics on allergic nasal symptoms such as sneezing and nasal obstruction in animal models of allergic rhinitis. this study evaluated the efficacy of bifidobacterium bifidum g9-1 (bbg9-1) on antigen-induced nasal symptoms using guinea pig models of allergic rhinitis. oral administration of bbg9-1 significantly inhibited antigen-induc ... | 2011 | 25045310 |
