Action of AferBio (fermented food) in a rat inflammatory model.

Background: AferBio is a fermented prebiotic food that contains beta-glucans, which are oligosaccharides capable of stimulating the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of this functional food on the inflammatory response in rats.

Methods And Results: AferBio (900 mg/kg) inhibited edema formation by 34% compared to the control group.
