Article Synopsis
- This study explored how Lactobacillus murinus (L. murinus) helps reduce lung inflammation caused by exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by looking at changes in metabolites.
- The researchers used various methods, including gene sequencing and metabolomics, to analyze the effects of L. murinus on immune cell differentiation and the balance of tryptophan metabolites in mice.
- Results showed that L. murinus not only reduced lung inflammation but also shifted immune responses by promoting regulatory T cells while inhibiting harmful T helper cell differentiation, highlighting its potential therapeutic benefits.
