Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative disease that causes pain, cartilage deformation, and joint inflammation. Lactobacillus species have been used as dietary supplements to induce the production of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory factors. The goal of this study was to determine whether Lactobacillus acidophilus ameliorates monosodium iodoacetate-induced OA. L. acidophilus showed anti-nociceptive properties and protected against cartilage destruction. It also downregulated the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines in the joints of OA rats. L. acidophilus additionally restored the balance between anabolic and catabolic factors in chondrocytes from OA patients. These results suggest that L. acidophilus can alleviate OA-associated pain and delay the progression of the disease by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine production and reducing cartilage damage.

The therapeutic effects of probiotics in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of probiotic supplementation on cell adhesion molecules, oxidative stress, and antioxidant parameters in TBI patients. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included 46 TBI patients who were randomly assigned to receive either a probiotic supplement (n = 23) or a placebo (n = 23) for 14 days.

Background & Aims: Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by an excess of fat mass. It is accompanied by a low-grade chronic systemic inflammation state that leads to numerous health disorders. To counteract this scenario, dietary-derived caloric restriction (CR) is the principal intervention for weight loss.

Background: Enterotoxigenic F4 E. coli (F4-ETEC) pose an economic threat to the swine industry through reduced growth, increased mortality and morbidity, and increased costs associated with treatment. Prevention and treatment of F4-ETEC often relies on antimicrobials; however, due to the threat of antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial use is being minimized, and hence alternative control methods are needed.
