Non-viable bacteria, referred to as "paraprobiotics," have attracted attention as potentially safer alternatives to probiotics. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of heat-killed DKGF7 on the symptomatic improvement of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in a rat disease model and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the beneficial effects of heat-killed probiotics. Seven male Wistar rats were induced with IBS by restraint stress and administered heat-killed DKGF7 for four weeks and then compared with seven rats in the control group.
