Hypocholesterolemic Effect of Potential Probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum Strains Isolated from Traditional Fermented Foods in Wistar Rats.

The current research project was undertaken to explore the therapeutic potential of two potent probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum strains, i.e., PD2 and PH5 in a hyperlipemic healthy adult Wistar rat model, with a particular focus as biotherapeutics for the management of high cholesterol in Indian population.
