Probiotic Chocolate Containing Dad-13 Alters the Gut Microbiota Composition of Undernourished Children in Lombok: A Randomized Double-Blind Trial.

The present study investigated the ingestion effect of chocolate probiotic containing Dad-13 in undernourished children. A 100-day observation was conducted on undernourished children in Lombok, who were divided into probiotic ( = 28) and placebo ( = 28) groups. Fecal sampling was performed on the 10 and 100 days and further analyzed for gut microbiota composition, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), and fecal pH.

Complete genome sequence of Indonesian probiotic strain subsp. Dad-13.

Previous studies have investigated the probiotic properties of subsp. Dad-13. Nevertheless, genomic sequence data from previous studies were not yet available to support each probiotic characteristic.

Comparative analysis of short-chain fatty acid levels in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis rat model: Impact of high-fat high-fructose (HFHF), high fat, and Western diets.

The evidence on the role of diets in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was limited. The aim of this study was to assess the potential effects of high-fat high-fructose (HFHF), high-fat, and Western diets on the levels of SCFA. A research experiment employing a post-test-only control group design was carried out from January to April 2022.

Whole-Genome Sequence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Mut-3, Isolated from Indonesian Fermented Soybean (Tempeh).

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Mut-3 was isolated from tempeh. After whole-genome sequencing, analysis of its possibility as a probiotic candidate was performed using subsystem analysis with RAST with the SEED viewer.

Recovery of Indigenous probiotic Mut-7 on healthy Indonesian adults after consumption of fermented milk containing these bacteria.

Unlabelled: Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits on the host when administered in adequate amounts, such as to support the balance of gut microbiota. In this study, the selected indigenous probiotic strain, Mut-7, was used as a starter culture to produce fermented milk. A total of 28 healthy Indonesian youngsters and adults (male/female: 16/12; age 19.

Gut Microbiome of Indonesian Adults Associated with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study in an Asian City, Yogyakarta.

Indonesia is a developing country facing the national problem of the growing obesity and diabetes in its population due to recent drastic dietary and lifestyle changes. To understand the link between the gut microbiome, diet, and health of Indonesian people, fecal microbiomes and metabolomes of 75 Indonesian adults in Yogyakarta City, including obese people ( = 21), type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients ( = 25), and the controls ( = 29) were characterized together with their dietary and medical records. Variations of microbiomes showed a triangular distribution in the principal component analysis, driven by three dominant bacterial genera, namely , , and .

Effect of probiotic Dad-13 powder consumption on the gut microbiota and intestinal health of overweight adults.

Background: Shifting on lifestyle, diet, and physical activity contributed on increasing number of obese people around the world. Multiple factors influence the development of obesity. Some research suggested that gut microbiota (GM) plays an important role in nutrient absorption and energy regulation of individuals, thus affecting their nutritional status.
