Abstract:BACKGROUNDA high‐fat (HF) diet, diet iron deficiency and iron supplementation may affect inflammatory parameters. Probiotics influence both iron metabolism and inflammation. We compared the inflammatory state in rats on a HF iron‐deficient diet receiving oral iron, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus curvatus in different combinations.METHODSThis was a two‐stage experiment. In groups C (n = 8) and HF (n = 8), rats ate a control or HF diet, respectively, for 16 weeks. In the group HFDEF (n = 48), rats ate… Show more
