Double-strand breaks in the DNA of the small intestine in male Wistar rats were studied using a neutral comet assay after 7 days of feeding with a single strain probiotic formulation Narine (Vitamax-E, Armenia), containing Lactobacillus acidophilus strain Er-2317/402 Narine, and putative probiotics L. rhamnosus Vahe and L. delbrueckii IAHAHI. Type 0 (undamaged DNA), type 1 (head diameter 13.18-17.08 μm), and type 2 (14.15-μm head diameter) damaged DNA comets were studied in control and lactobacilli-fed rats using the neutral comet assay. Lactobacilli-fed rats were shown to carry only type 0 (undamaged) DNA.Thus, the effects of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus strain INMIA 9602 Er 317/402 and putative probiotic lactobacilli on DNA damage in the small intestine of Wistar rats in vivo was shown, and the neutral comet assay is suggested as a potential tool for the in vivo selection of putative probiotics with DNA-protective activity.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease marked by gut inflammation and microbial dysbiosis. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) from probiotic bacteria have been shown to regulate microbial composition and metabolism, but their role in promoting probiotic growth and alleviating inflammation in UC remains unclear. Here, we investigate BLEPS-1, a novel EPS derived from Bifidobacterium longum subsp.

Aim: This research aimed to probe the effects of fecal microbiota and on the metabolism of Radix Astragali (RA) and solid fermenting Radix Astragali (FRA). It further explores pharmacological effects of RA, , and FRA on HUA mouse model and the mechanisms in HUA treatment.
Methods: Fecal microbiota and were used to ferment FRA and RA in vitro to probe the impacts of microbiota on the metabolism of active compound.

Introduction: Biosurfactants are naturally occurring compounds with various ap-plications, biodegradable, non-toxic, and effective in different conditions. This study fo-cuses on the extraction and evaluation of biosurfactants produced by five strains of lactic acid bacteria [LAB] for their potential to inhibit biofilm formation and adhesion by Strep-tococcus mutans.
Methods: The strains of LAB-producing biosurfactants such as Lactobacillus salivarius, L.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the role of membrane vesicles (MVs) from the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus in reducing intestinal inflammation and increasing 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the substantia nigra in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: Twenty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 5 per group), including a) control, b) 6-OHDA, c) 6-OHDA+MV, and d) sham groups. PD was induced by bilateral injection of 6-OHDA.
