Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing condition involving complex
interactions between genes and the environment. The mechanisms triggering the initial …

Communication between nerves and immune and inflammatory cells of the small and large
intestine plays a major role in the modulation of several intestinal functions, including …

We evaluated immunometabolic functions of novel Lactobacillus fermentum strains (KBL374
and KBL375) isolated from feces of healthy Koreans. The levels of inflammatory cytokines …

Yeasts and their glycan components can have a beneficial or adverse effect on intestinal
inflammation. Previous research has shown that the presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

Background Mechanistic data to support health claims is often generated using rodent
models, and the influence of prebiotic supplementation has largely been evaluated using …

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii on
inflammation and intestinal colonization by Candida albicans in a BALB/c mouse model of …

Mast cells are well known as versatile cells capable of releasing and producing a variety of
inflammatory mediators upon activation and are often found in close proximity of neurons. In …

A strong correlation exists between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and oxidative stress
involving alterations of several key signaling pathways. It is known that methionine promotes …

Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ) is a nuclear receptor

We confirmed that Lactobacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) strains (KBL382, 384, 385)
exhibited strong protective effects in an in vivo dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis model …
