Soymilk yogurt prepared using TOKAI 759m ameliorates cognitive function through gut microbiota modulation in high-fat diet mice.

Recent studies have confirmed that obesity leads to neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. This study aimed to examine whether soymilk yogurt prepared using TOKAI 759m could prevent cognitive decline and neuroinflammation progression in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6NJcl male mice were grouped according to the following dietary interventions and monitored for 15 weeks: (1) normal control diet, (2) HFD, (3) HFD with soymilk (SM), (4) HFD with soymilk yogurt (SY), and (5) HFD with bacterial cells of the starter strain (BC).
