Abstract

Supplementing the diet with probiotics may be an alternative strategy for combating obesity and related disorders (20). [...]we aimed to determine and compare the effects of LcS, which was isolated from a fermented milk drink, with those of Orlistat on body weight and levels of related biomarkers in high fat diet-induced obese rats. The liver, spleen, kidney, heart, and pancreas were removed and weighed using standard weighing scales calibrated to 0.1 g. Bacterial concentration determination The viable plate count method was used to prepare 108-109 CFU of LcS to gavage the rats. Effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus 43121 and a mixture of Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium longum on the serum cholesterol level and fecal sterol excretion in hypercholesterolemia-induced pigs.
