The article presents a study of the effect of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus rhamnosus L108 on the expression of host longevity genes in the Caenorhabditis elegans model. The study found that the Lactobacillus rhamnosus L108 strain increased the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by 9.6%. Also, when analyzing longevity genes, an increase in the level of expression of the sir-2.1, skn-1, and daf-16 genes, which underlie the regulation of conservative signaling protective pathways of insulin/insulin-like factor-1 and p38 MAPK, was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
