The consumption of complementary foods can bring about diarrhea and intestinal barrier dysfunction in infants. In this study, three different strains combined with L-tryptophan (Trp) were administered to rat pups with complementary foods. Complementary food feeding caused inflammatory cell infiltration, crypt structure irregularity and goblet cell reduction in the colon tissues of the rat pups.

This study further explored the crucial substances of DPUL-S164 in alleviating intestinal barrier damage in mice through a dextran sodium sulfate-induced ulcerative colitis mouse model. Compared to dead DPUL-S164 (D-S164), live DPUL-S164 (S164) and its tryptophan metabolite, ILA, showed an effective ameliorating effect on the intestinal barrier injury of mice treated by antibiotic cocktail and sodium dextran sulfate, suggesting that the crucial substances of DPUL-S164 ameliorating intestinal barrier injury are its extracellular metabolites.

Our previous study showed that the ( ) DPUL-S164 intervention in mice with a high tryptophan (Trp) diet promotes indole-3-lactic acid (ILA) production in the mice's intestinal tract and ameliorates dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced intestinal barrier damage in mice. In this study, we used the HT-29 cell monolayer model to evaluate the effect of the DPUL-S164 Trp metabolites (DPUL-S164-TM) on the intestinal barrier.

In this study, we investigated the antagonistic and symbiotic effects of co-cultured Lactobacillus strains, as well as their amelioratory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in RAW264.7 cells.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether L.

The purpose of the study was to determine the alleviating effects of LPEPS on colon cancer development of the C57BL/6 mice treated by azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium salt (AOM/DSS). The C57BL/6 mice treated by AOM/DSS were orally administered LPEPS daily for 85 days.
