Heat-Killed Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris H61 Altered the Iron Status of Young Women: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Comparative Study [PDF]
Nutrients, 2022 Women are prone to iron deficiency because of increased iron excretion associated with menstruation. This is often treated by oral iron supplementation, although this treatment can cause side effects, such as stomach pain and nausea, with low absorption of ingested iron.

Oral intake of heat-killed cells of Lactococcus lactis strain H61 promotes skin health in women [PDF]
Journal of Nutritional Science, 2012 We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effect of heat-killed cells of Lactococcus lactis strain H61 on various skin properties of Japanese women. Volunteers (age 31–62 years) were randomly assigned to receive test food with

A derivative of Lactococcus lactis strain H61 with less interleukin-12 induction has a different cell wall [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2012 Lactococcus lactis H61 can increase the cellular immune responses of aged (14-mo-old) senescence-accelerated mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors contributing to IL-12 induction by strain H61 by analyzing strains derived from it. Strain H61 derivative no. 13 was obtained by growing the parent strain at 37°C.

Effects of ingesting milk fermented by Lactococcus lactis H61 on skin health in young women: A randomized double-blind study [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2014 We conducted a randomized double-blind trial to evaluate the effects of fermented milk produced using only Lactococcus lactis strain H61 as a starter bacterium (H61-fermented milk) on the general health and various skin properties of young women. Healthy female volunteers (n=23; age=19-21r) received H61-fermented milk (10(10) cfu of strain H61/d) or ...

Dietary intake of heat-killed Lactococcus lactis H61 delays age-related hearing loss in C57BL/6J mice [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractAge-related hearing loss (AHL) is a common disorder associated with aging. In this study, we investigated the effect of the intake of heat-killedLactococcus lactissubsp.cremorisH61 (strain H61) on AHL in C57BL/6J mice. Measurement of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) demonstrated that female mice at 9 months of age fed a diet containing 0 ...

EFFECTS OF INGESTING MILK FERMENTED BY LACTOCOCCUS LACTIS H61 ON SKIN PROPERTIES AND HEALTH BIOMARKERS IN MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN: A RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY [PDF]
JAR Life, 2015 Objective: Previously, we showed that ingestion of fermented milk made by only Lactococcus lactis strain H61 (H61-fermented milk) improves various skin properties in young Japanese women (age, around 20 y). Because the condition of human skin varies with age, we investigated the effects of H61-fermented milk on skin properties of middle-aged women ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Prolidase from Streptococcus cremoris H61
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1984 A prolidase with a molecular weight of 43,000 was purified to homogeneity from a cell-free extract of Streptococcus cremoris H61. The optimum pH of the enzyme was in the range of 6.5 to 7.5. The hydrolyzing activity was specific for dipeptides of the X-Pro type.
