to decrease their triglyceride levels. The double-blind study had 92 participants who all had high triglyceride levels. Over the 12 weeks study, participants were given either a placebo or a supplement that contained the probiotics Lactobacillus curvatus and Lactobacillus plantarum. After 12 weeks, the triglyceride levels of the patients were measured. Those who had taken the probiotics experienced a 20 percent reduction in their triglyceride levels and a 25 percent increase in their…

souring. Lactococcus lactis has two subspecies, lactis and cremoris, both of which are essential in manufacture of many varieties of cheese and other fermented milk products. Lactococcus lactis is related to other lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus in our intestinal tract and Streptococcus salivarius in the mouth. However, Lactococcus does not normally colonize human tissues and differs from many other lactic acid bacteria in its pH, salt, and temperature tolerances for…

The results of this study are similar to the studies discussed above in that Lactobacillus counts did not alter significantly, but Bifidobacterium counts did increase significantly. They indicate that an interesting addition to our study would have been to add two synbiotic feeding groups, Bifidobacterium/FOS and Lactobacillus/FOS. Results from previous studies have shown that an easily accessed, preferred substrate increases the viability of the probiotic.51 In order for all the rats to begin…

TLR/NF-kB is a reporter gene mice that help in sequencing and recognizing the areas of inflammation. Additionally, the timeframe of inflammation was observed to introduce the connection of high diet and insulin resistance. The results of this experiment showed that in conventionally raised specific pathogen free mice high fat diet induced increase in the body weight unlike germ-free mice. Moreover, fecal slurries analysis provided activation of NF-κBEGFP in GF NF-κBEGFP mice. Thus, high fat diet…

The set of bacteria living in the gut it is called intestinal flora although it is now called intestinal microbiota, the human intestinal tract is home to a diverse and complex microbial community that plays a central role in human health, it is estimated that our gut contains the range of 1000 bacterial species and 100 times more genes found in the human genome The composition of our intestinal flora is formed during embryonic development and can be modified by factors such as diet of pregnant…

the gut microbiota throughout our lives but it is most effective on newborns. The first factor that affects the composition of the microbiota is how the baby is delivered. (2) Vaginally delivered babies are colonized by vaginal microbes such as Lactobacillus. (2) Infants that was delivered via C-section is not colonized by vaginal microbes but instead colonized by the environment of the hospital including being exposed to the mother’s skin microbes. (2) It is researched that…

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are used as non- digestible carbohydrate - based food ingredients in human and animal nutrition. They have ability to enhance the proliferation of intestinal Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus .These Bifidobacteria have beneficial effects on health of human, provide protection from infection and facilitate normal function of Gut. GOS also have some other useful properties they are stable under acidic condition and during food processing…

Bacteria! They're everywhere, and they are usually harmful. But did you know that some bacteria are actually good for you?.. Good bacteria, called Probiotics, are friendly to the human body, and actually are very important to have inside of us. While many of us have heard of probiotics some people are still unsure or even confused as to exactly what they are and what they do. I have been asked number of times to provide some clarity on this subject. The following is a Q & A of the most common…

mould and fungi which lives all over the body on all the mucous membranes and line the gastro intestinal tract. Yeast is prominent in the colon where bacteria assists digestion and the manufacturing of some B vitamins. Around 80% of this bacteria, lactobacillus acidophilus, is considered friendly. The remaining 20% is represented by yeast and is known as Candida albicans. Yeast will proliferate in the body and when regulators are disturbed yeast multiplies. Growth is kept under control by…

Introduction: Bacteria are very diverse and are part of the prokaryotic domain. Some bacteria can be harmful, but others can also be beneficial in many ways. There are bacteria everywhere on Earth; places that you would think would have bacteria, like your gastrointestinal tract or our skin (Wenner, 2007). Although bacteria are small in size and are a simple cell organism, it is essential to life. There are different ways in how to distinguish and classify bacteria. One way is you can look…
