Objectives: Plant polysaccharides have attracted increasing attention due to their high efficiency and low toxicity. polysaccharide (CPP) is an essential substance extracted from , known for its excellent antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. However, it is still unclear how CPP improves nerve protection and what its underlying molecular mechanisms are.

As the main organic substrate used by cells in the intestinal tract, the role of the chiral specificity of glutamine is still largely ignored.
Results: In a previous study, we found that d-glutamine affected the quorum sensing of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum A3, promoted the release of signaling molecule AI-2 and up-regulated the expression of the LuxS gene.
Probiotic products that contain lactobacilli have long histories of safe use as Lactobacillus strains have many physiological functions in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). However, the viability of probiotics can be affected by food processing and the adverse environment. This study investigated the O/W (Oil-in-water emulsions) emulsions formed by coagulation of casein/GA (Gum Arabic) complexes for Lactiplantibacillus plantarum microencapsulation, and the stability of the strains during gastrointestinal environment were also determined.

In this study, the anti-inflammatory properties of fatty acids from monoculture-strain (Lactiplantibacillusplantarum A3) and multiple-strain (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and L. plantarum A3 1:1:2) fermented milk were evaluated in a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, and the gut microbiota regulation properties of the fatty acids were also investigated.

Materials & Methods: The current research mainly focuses on the adhesion and immune function of MUB from L. acidophilus.
Lactic acid bacteria are the majority fermentation starter in the traditional fermented foods. In this research, a promising Lactobacillus plantarum was isolated from Sichuan pickle and its adhesion properties were analyzed in simulated gastrointestinal fluid with different methods. Meanwhile, the immunomodulatory effect of this strain was also evaluated in the Caco-2 cells.
