Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Japanese Fermented Fish (Funa-Sushi) Inhibit Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis by Alcohol Intake with Stress.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of heat-killed NFRI 7415 on kidney and bone in mice fed an ethanol-containing diet with stress. Eight-week-old Cril  :  CD1 mice were fed a control diet (CD), an alcohol diet (AD) (35.8% of total energy from ethanol), or an alcohol diet containing 20% heat-killed NFRI 7415 (10 CFU/g) (LD) for 4 weeks.
