The effects of Lactobacillus strains and oat fiber on methotrexate- induced enterocolitis in rats

Enhanced antiinflammatory capacity of a Lactobacillus plantarum mutant synthesizing modified teichoic acids

“…Their positive effects have been studied in the treatment and prevention of various intestinal disorders, including colitis in animal models and IBD in humans (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). However, the mechanisms underlying these effects and especially the role of bacterial cell-wall components are currently not well understood.…”

“…Notably, their successful use in the prevention of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been described (13). Recent studies have reported the positive effects of probiotics not only in the prevention of colitis in animal models (14)(15)(16) but also in the maintenance of remission after surgery in IBD (17)(18)(19). We established that the in vivo protective effect of LAB in a murine 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced model of colitis is strain-specific (20,21).…”

Ability ofLactobacillus rhamnosusGAF01 to remove AFM1in vitroand to counteract AFM1immunotoxicityin vivo

“…In contrast to the CD54 + cells, the effects noted here on the other T-cell subtypes are in keeping findings by other investigators. In rats with induced enterocolitis, the concentration of CD4 + and CD8 + cells in the intestinal lamina propria were increased to a more normal level by administration of L. plantarum (Mao et al, 1996). In another study, L. paracasei NCC2461 induced the development of a population of CD4 + T-cells with low proliferative capacity and that were induced to produce transforming growth factor (TGF)-b and interleukin (IL)-10 (von der Weid et al, 2001).…”

Probiotic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SC06 Prevents Bacterial Translocation in Weaned Mice

“…The effect of dietary fibre and lactobacilli on BT has been investigated in several studies. In models of cytotoxic druginduced gut injury and liver injury, pectin and oat fibre were shown to reduce BT [1,16]. Administration of live Fig.…”
