TL;DR: Feeding with L. acidophilus NCFM and L. salivarius Ls‐33 feeding of SCID mice increases the in vivo effect of Tregs, resulting in a gene expression pattern in the rectum resembling that of the naïve SCID mouse.

TL;DR: The regulatory role of probiotics in human allergic disease was first emphasised in the demonstration of a suppressive effect on lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin-4 generation in vitro, and a significant improvement in the clinical course of atopic eczema was reported in infants given a probiotic-supplemented diet.

TL;DR: 2′-FL metabolism is a complex process involving multiple gene clusters, that produce a more diverse metabolite profile compared to lactose, and shows how the cell uses metabolites during fermentation to produce higher levels of ATP (mid-log compared to other stages) or generate cofactors to balance redox.

TL;DR: Lactitol supplementation is well tolerated and improves symptoms of adult constipation, and limited evidence suggests lactitol is superior to stimulant laxatives and placebo for relieving constipation symptoms.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-over study was conducted to evaluate whether a probiotic mix containing Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37, Lactic acidophilus 74-2, and Bifidobacteria animalis subsp lactis DGCC 420 can affect the microbiota and its genotoxic activity in healthy subjects and patients with atopic dermatitis (AD).
