probiotic products highly affect the health of consumers by reducing the risk of heart attacks and improving the desirable microflora in the intestinal tract. in this study the effect of yogurt (500g/d for 3 wk) enriched with either bifidobacterium bifidum or lactobacillus acidophilus on the level of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl) and high density lipoprotein (hdl) of serum and ...

One of the methods combating unwanted microflora is use antibiotics, however, along with positive properties, they have a number significant disadvantages, in particular, detrimental effect both pathogenic and beneficial intestinal microflora. In this regard, there an urgent need to replace antibiotics safer substances, which increasingly include probiotics. The mechanism action probiotics sele...

During the past few years, considerable attention has been given to the impact of nutrition on kidney disease. Interventions that restrict protein intake lower the plasma urea concentration, alleviate adverse clinical symptoms, and may slow the progression of chronic renal failure (CRF). Although these studies provide a logical explanation for a relationship between a low protein diet and alter...

Oral administration of antibiotics for treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause ecological disturbances in the normal intestinal microflora. Poorly absorbed drugs can reach the colon in active form, suppress susceptible microorganisms and disturb the ecological balance. Suppression of the normal microflora may lead to reduced colonization resistance with subsequent overgrowth of p...

background and aims . peri-implantitis is a chronic progressive marginal infection which is defined as an inflammato-ry reaction affecting the tissues surrounding osseointegrated dental implants resulting in loss of supporting bone. microflora of patients with implants who are edentulous mainly consists of gram positive facultative cocci and non motile rods. pre-dominantly, streptococcus sangui...

In ovo delivery of prebiotics and synbiotics in chickens allows for the development of intestinal microflora prior to hatching, which boosts their robustness. The goal of this study was to determine the transcriptomic profile of the spleen (S), cecal tonsils (CT), and large intestine (LI) of adult chickens injected with prebiotics and synbiotics in ovo. On day 12 of embryo development, incubati...

Whether the association with gut microflora modifies the energy metabolism of chickens was investigated by varying the metabolizable energy consumption level from zero to above the maintenance requirement in the germ-free and conventional states. Single comb White Leghorn chicks were either fasted for 3 d (Expt 1), or fed for 6 d at a fixed daily meal intake of 2, 5 or 8 g/d (Expt 2), or 5, 10 ...
