Lactobacillus probiotics have been investigated in periodontitis. However, the effects of genus Bifidobacterium on periodontitis are hardly known. This study evaluated probiotic (PROB) animalis subsp. lactis (B. lactis) HN019 as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) rats with experimental (EP). At baseline, 32 were assigned 4 groups: C (control), PROB, EP-SRP EP-SRP-PROB. In groups EP-SRP-PROB, mandibular first molars animals received a ligature. day 14, ligatures removed SRP was...
This study aimed at assessing the effects of Kefir, a probiotic fermented milk, on oxidative stress in diabetic animals. The induction diabetes was achieved adult male Wistar rats using streptozotocin (STZ). animals were distributed into four groups as follows: control (CTL); Kefir (CTLK); (DM) and (DMK). Starting 5th day diabetes, administered by daily gavage dose 1.8 mL/day for 8 weeks. Before after treatment, placed individual metabolic cages to obtain blood urine samples evaluate urea,...
Fermentation is one of the oldest biotechnological tools employed by mankind. Fermenting food gives them better sensory and nutritional qualities, latter including vitamins, phenolic compounds, antioxidants, antimicrobials. Kombucha result fermentation a sweetened Camellia sinensis infusion action symbiotic community yeasts bacteria organized in cellulosic biofilm called SCOBY has gained great prominence among fermented foods beverages, with considerable increase its popularity last decade,...
At least three B cell subsets, B-1a, B-1b and B-2, or conventional cells are present in the mouse periphery. Here we demonstrate that B-1 spontaneously proliferate stationary cultures of normal adherent peritoneal cells. were characterized by morphology, immunohistochemistry flow cytometry. IgM was detected supernatants these cultures. We demonstrated major population analyzed expresses phenotype. When transferred to a new culture, large proportion them adhere plastic surface, spread as...
Development of dairy organic probiotic fermented products is great interest as they associate ecological practices and benefits bacteria. As management cow milk production allow modification the fatty acid composition (as compared to conventional milk), we studied influence type on some characteristics milks, such acidification kinetics, bacterial counts content. Conventional milks were produced using Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 in co-culture with Streptococcus thermophilus...
The treatment for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is complex; full effectiveness rarely achieved and it has many adverse effects. In developing countries, increased resistance to antibiotics its cost make more difficult. Probiotics can reduce effects improve infection efficacy. If first-line therapy fails a second-line using tetracycline, furazolidone proton-pump inhibitors been effective low in Brazil; however implies lot aim this study was minimize increase rate applying...
Probiotic dairy beverages prepared from buffalo and cow milks with different levels of whey (0, 25, 50%) were evaluated for kinetic fermentation parameters, protein fat contents, post-acidification profile, viability Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, acidophilus during 21 d refrigerated storage, resistance to in vitro gastrointestinal conditions. Progressive acidification that occurred storage all products was reduced the presence whey. Lactic acid bacteria showed viable...
Kombucha is a traditional fermented beverage produced via the fermentation of sweetened Camellia sinensis infusion added to symbiotic culture bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). During fermentation, high level ethanol can be as metabolite that reach values above legal limits for non-alcoholic beverages. In 2021, Brazil made world’s first kombucha-specific legislation label beverages containing up 0.50% ABV (alcohol by volume) non-alcoholic. Headspace gas chromatography was used quantify in 12...
The mechanisms that govern giant cell (GC) formation in inflammatory, neoplastic and physiologic conditions are far from being understood. Here, we demonstrate B-1 cells essential for foreign-body GC the mouse. GCs were analysed on surface of glass cover slips implanted into subcutaneous tissue animals. It was demonstrated almost absent BALB/c or CBA/N X-linked immunodeficient mice. As these animals do not have peritoneal cavity, they reconstituted with obtained cultures adherent mouse...
Background and aimThe etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with different factors such as genetic, infectious, immunological, environmental, including modification the gut microbiota. IBD′s conventional pharmacological therapeutic approaches have become a challenge due to side effects, complications from prolonged use, higher costs. Kefir fermented milk beverage functional food that has demonstrated multiple beneficial effects anti-inflammatory antioxidant...
The health benefits offered by probiotic fermented milks can be increased adding native fruit pulps. Red fruits contain ellagic acid (EA) and ellagitannins, interesting substances due to their powerful antioxidant properties other beneficial biological activities, such as cardio protective effects, selective growth inhibition of human pathogenic bacteria, α-amylase angiotensin I converting enzyme, proliferative activities against several different cancer cells. This study aimed improve the...
Asthma is an inflammatory lung disease that affects more women than men in adulthood. Clinical evidence shows hormonal fluctuation during the menstrual cycle and menopause are related to increased asthma severity women. Considering life expectancy has most now undergo menopause, strategies prevent worsening of symptoms particularly important. A recent study from our group showed re-exposure ovariectomised allergic mice antigen (ovalbumin) leads exacerbation inflammation similar clinical...
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease occurs when luminal antigens from microbiota stimulate the immune system of an intestinal barrier through defects in tight junctions lead to exacerbated response genetically predisposed individual. It is well known that consumption probiotics improves health. Specifically, Lactobacillus sp. strains play a key role epithelial barrier, promote mucin secretion, better performance and prevent apoptosis cells. This study aimed evaluate Kefir...
