Impact of Probiotic supplementation on intestinal microflora of rat under environmental hypobaric pressure

چکیده
The gastrointestinal tract of the human and other mammals is populated by a vast and diverse group of microbes in a composite manner (Frank and Pace, 2008; Ito, 2005). Bacteria are the major population of the alimentary tract and this native microflora is commonly designated the gut microflora (Ito, 2005). Microbial flora present in the microenvironment of the gastrointestinal tract performs several important and essential activities of the host (Straw, 1989) such as the breakdown of undigested food, metabolism of drugs, enhanced absorption of foodstuffs, synthesis of vitamins, creation of resistance against pathogenic bacteria by colonization resistance, stimulation of host ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 3 Number 8 (2014) pp. 282-291 http://www.ijcmas.com

Hypobaric-hypoxia induces alteration in microbes and microbes-associated enzyme profile in rat colonic samples.
Present study deals with the straight impact of hypobaric hypoxia on the quantity and composition of some predominant fecal microflora and its functional aspects. For that, isolated fecal contents of rat were exposed to two different simulated air pressures (70 kPa and 40 kPa) for different time durations (1, 3, and 5 h) and the bacterial community composition was compared with normobaric group...

There is increasing interest in the potential beneficial role of probiotic supplementation in the prevention and treatment of atopic diseases in children. Probiotics are defined as ingested live microorganisms that, when administered in an adequate amount, confer a health benefit to the host. They are mainly represented by Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. Several epidemiological data demonstrat...
متن کاملReview Probiotic microorganisms: how they affect intestinal pathophysiology
Probiotics attracted great interest throughout the last decade. A keyword search for ‘probiotic or lactic acid bacteria’ in the PubMed database reveals more than 3000 papers during the last 10 years and more than 400 papers in 2001. The aim of the present review is to update studies concerning the use of probiotics in treating gastrointestinal diseases as well as to highlight more recently unde...
