Abstract

The current research project was undertaken to explore the therapeutic potential of two potent probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum strains, i.e., PD2 and PH5 in a hyperlipemic healthy adult Wistar rat model, with a particular focus as biotherapeutics for the management of high cholesterol in Indian population. Rats fed on cholesterol-enriched diet supplemented with potential probiotics strain Lactobacillus fermentum PH5 significantly affected serum lipid profile by reducing serum cholesterol (67.21%), triglycerides level (66.21%), and LDL cholesterol level (63.25%) in comparison to rats that received cholesterol-enriched diet (Model) only. Both the strains decreased the cholesterol levels in liver compared with Model group, but PH5 was found to be more effective (30.65% reduction) in liver total cholesterol (TC) lowering action. In addition, the fecal coliforms were significantly reduced besides increased LAB in feces of rats receiving probiotic curd having Lactobacillus fermentum PH5. Our results demonstrated that supplementation with either of the two strains was efficient in reducing serum cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and TG concentrations in rats compared to those fed the same high-cholesterol diet but without LAB supplementation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
