Effects of synbiotics containing subsp. GCL2505 and inulin on intestinal bifidobacteria: A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study.

A number of studies have shown the bifidogenic effects of either probiotic bifidobacteria or inulin, and this bifidogenic shift in the composition of the colonic microbiota is likely the basis for their positive impact on human health. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of synbiotics containing the probiotic bacterium subsp. () GCL2505 and inulin on the levels of intestinal bifidobacteria compared with GCL2505 alone.

Effect of ssp. GCL2505 on visceral fat accumulation in healthy Japanese adults: a randomized controlled trial.

ssp. GCL2505 ( GCL2505) is able to survive passage through the intestine and then proliferate, leading to an increase in the amount of gut bifidobacteria. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of GCL2505 on abdominal visceral fat storage in overweight and mildly obese Japanese adults.

Molecular cloning of porcine RP105/MD-1 involved in recognition of extracellular phosphopolysaccharides from Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris.

In this study, we cloned the cDNAs encoding porcine RP105 (poRP105) and porcine MD-1 (poMD-1) from Peyer's patches of adult swine. The complete open reading frames of poRP105 and poMD-1 contain 1986 and 480bp and encode 661 and 159 amino acid residues, respectively. These two proteins were more similar to the human (77.
