Probiotics Aspergillus oryzae and Lactobacillus sakei reduce IgE and increase Th1 cytokines in an ovalbumin-induced murine model of allergy

Probiotic bacteria exert beneficial effects on human health through suppression of harmful microorganisms and immunomodulatory activity. Preclinical and clinical studies have accumulated evidence of the effect of orally administered probiotics in the management of allergic diseases, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other debilitating disorders. For example, oral administration of Bifidobacterium lactis modulates immune parameters and mitigates allergic symptoms. Other probiotic bacteria exhibited cholesterol-lowering effects by interacting with bile acids, and could decrease lipid concentration in serum improving hemorheology.
