Probiotics as Complementary Treatment for Metabolic Disorders
Open accessAbstract
Recent studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of specific probiotics on alleviating obesity-related disorders.Here we aimed to identify probiotics with potential antiobesity activity among 88 lactic acid bacterial strains via in vitro screening assays, and a Lactobacillus plantarum strain K21 was found to harbor abilities required for hydrolyzing bile salt, reducing cholesterol, and inhibiting the accumulation of lipid in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.Furthermore, effects of K21 on diet-induced obese (DIO) mice were examined.Male C57Bl/6J mice received a normal diet, high-fat diet (HFD), or HFD with K21 administration (10 9 CFU in 0.2 mL PBS/day) for eight weeks.Supplementation of K21, but not placebo, appeared to alleviate body weight gain and epididymal fat mass accumulation, reduce plasma leptin levels, decrease cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and mitigate liver damage in DIO mice.Moreover, the hepatic expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-𝛾 (PPAR-𝛾) related to adipogenesis was significantly downregulated in DIO mice by K21 intervention.We also found that K21 supplementation strengthens intestinal permeability and modulates the amount of Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Clostridium perfringens in the cecal contents of DIO mice.In conclusion, our results suggest that dietary intake of K21 protects against the onset of HFD-induced obesity through multiple mechanisms of action.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Although the effects of probiotic and prebiotic supplementation on metabolic health have been examined in previous studies, the results are inconsistent due to the choice of probiotic strain, formulation of the probiotic, outcome of interest, and duration of the intervention [12,13,14].”

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.
