Effects of probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus) on liver functions in experimental colitis in rats

The Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2014
The ameliorative effects of probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus) on liver functions in experimentally induced colitis in adult male rats were studied. Thirty six male rats divided randomly into 4 groups, 9 animals per group. First   group considered as

Inhibition of Candida albicans by Lactobacillus acidophilus

Journal of Dairy Science, 1980
Candida albicans grew at pH 4.6 or above in nutrient broth containing 5% glucose but was retarded at pH 7.7 by filtrates of Lactobacillus acidophilus grown in casitone broth. Vaginal implantation of nonfermented acidophilus milk, yogurt, or low-fat milk for preventing recurrence of monilia vaginitis subsequent to treatment with Nystatin was studied ...

Fermented Dairy Products as Modulators of the Gut Microbiome: Greek Yogurt as a Model System

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Greek yogurt containing five defined bacterial strains (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, B. lactis, and L. rhamnosus) delivers live cultures to the intestinal epithelium, where they interact with tight junctions, mucus, and villi. These microbes produce short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), acetate, propionate, and butyrate that contribute to

Pulsed Electric Field Enhanced Cross‐Linking of Alginate and Fish Gelatin for Anti‐Oxidative Activities and Entrapment of Nutrients

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study demonstrates a novel PEF‐based method to fabricate cross‐linked alginate‐fish gelatin materials with compact microstructure. Compared to homogenization, PEF processing significantly improved antioxidant activity and enhanced nutrient entrapment capacity for minerals (33% vs. 21%) and vitamins (24% vs. 15%).

Laboratory Analysis of Fecal Lactobacillus Strains and pH in Tobacco Smokers: A Comparative Study From a Developing Country

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tobacco smoking is a major cause of preventable mortality globally, disproportionately impacting developing countries. While its systemic health effects are well‐known, the influence of tobacco on gut microbiota—especially beneficial Lactobacillus species—remains poorly explored in resource‐limited settings.

Growth Performance of Holstein Dairy Calves Supplemented with a Probiotic [PDF]

, 1991
Administration of antibiotics in both therapeutic and sub-therapeutic doses has been the standard practice for dealing with pathogenic bacteria problems in farm animals since the 1940s. Several types of antibiotics are currently used to promote weight

Gut Microbiota and Extraintestinal Cancers: Mechanistic Insights and Microbiome‐Targeted Interventions

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut microbiota is a dynamic community of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea that plays a pivotal role in regulating host immunity, metabolism, and systemic homeostasis. Dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance in the microbial composition, is being increasingly recognized as a contributor not only to gastrointestinal cancers but also to

Innate Lymphoid Cells in Tissue Homeostasis and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous group of immune cells with phenotypic and functional plasticity. ILCs dynamically regulate various immune cell types and play a crucial role in the pathophysiological processes of specific organs during sepsis. Targeting ILCs is a promising strategy for treating sepsis.

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1092-1103, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...
