Exploration of Antidiabetic, Cholesterol-Lowering, and Anticancer Upshot of Probiotic Bacterium Pediococcus pentosaceus OBK05 Strain of Buttermilk.
Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins
December 2023
Chronic metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia (diabetes), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), and cancer have become catastrophic diseases worldwide. Accordingly, probiotic intervention is a new approach for alleviating catastrophic diseases. In the present study, Pediococcus pentosaceus OBK05 was investigated as a potential probiotic bacterium for antidiabetic, cholesterol-lowering, and anticancer activities by in vitro and in vivo studies.

- The study evaluates 15 yeast strains from toddy palm nectar for their probiotic potential, using Saccharomyces boulardii as the control.
- Selected strains were tested for resistance to antibiotics, tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions, and their ability to adhere to intestinal cells.
- The two best strains were identified as Pichia kudriavzevii OBS1 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae OBS2, with OBS2 showing potential antioxidant and anticancer properties, suggesting its use as a probiotic for therapeutic applications.
