Bifidobacterium animalis strain DN‐173 010 shortens the colonic transit time in healthy women: a double‐blind, randomized, controlled study
Open accessAbstract
Background: A previous study has suggested that Bifidobacterium animalis DN‐173 010 shortens the colonic transit time in women. Aim: To confirm this effect and to determine whether modifications of the faecal bacterial mass and/or faecal secondary bile salts may be the explanation. Methods: A double‐blind, cross‐over study was performed. Thirty‐six healthy women were studied in four consecutive 10‐day periods. During periods 2 and 4, they ingested three 125 g cups per day of a fermented milk which was either a product containing B. animalis DN‐173 010 or a control without bifidobacteria. Periods 1 and 3 were run‐in and washout periods, respectively. The total and segmental colonic transit times were assessed using a pellet method. In 12 subjects, all stools were collected and analysed for pH, faecal weight, bacterial mass and bile acids. Results: The total and sigmoid transit times were significantly shorter during dosing with B. animalis compared to the control period. The other transit times, faecal weight, pH, bacterial mass and bile acids were not significantly affected. Conclusions: B. animalis DN‐173 010 shortens the colonic transit time in healthy women. This effect is not explained by modifications of the faecal bacterial mass or secondary bile acids.

In the citing paper
“In healthy adults as well as elderly subjects, a fermented milk containing Bifidobacterium animalis DN-173 010 alone or in association with the yoghurt starters Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus has been shown to decrease orofecal and ⁄ or colonic, especially sigmoid, transit time; [22][23][24][25]”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“Clinical evidence of the efficacy of some probiotics in the improvement of symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has recently emerged (1 -3) .”
In the citing paper
“The variability of the effects reported has highlighted the product and strain specificity, which is supported by the high variability in their properties (anti-inflammatory activity, effect on motility or visceral sensation) (1,2) .”

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.
