Mechanisms underlying the conditioning influence of the intestinal flora on mucosal homeostasis, including development and function of immune responses, are attracting increasing scientific scrutiny. The intestinal flora is a positive asset to host defense, but some of its components may, in genetically susceptible hosts, become a risk factor for development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)....

Probiotic supplements transform the intestinal microbial flora and enhancing gut and immune function. The intestinal microbial flora the gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria are integral to the protection of the body from infection, and maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. The microbial flora with intestinal epithelial cells and immune tract, skin and uro-genital tract. The exercise highlig...

abstract probiotic products highly affect the health of consumers by reducing the risk of heart attacks and improving of desirable microflora in 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 ...

: This paper aims to analyze how intestinal flora regulates liver fibrosis pathogenesis and evaluate the regulatory effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on flora, providing new insights into treatment. Destruction microbiome can lead development, accelerating microbiome’s disruption. TCM effectively regulate helping prevent treat fibrosis. review discusses mechanisms behind changes in t...

The gastrointestinal tract has various functions including digestion, the production of hormones with local and systemic effects, a major role in immunological function, and acting as a barrier against antigens within its lumen. The intestinal microflora is an ecosystem which harbours over 400 bacterial species, predominantly anaerobes which outnumber facultative anaerobes. Most flora is presen...

The present results of investigations performed on fresh fecal samples from a healthy adult and subjects with acute leukemia cultured bacteriologically using both aerobic and anaerobic techniques have led to the following conclusions. 1) In studies on the intestinal bacterial flora of the subjects examined, obligate anaerobic bacteria rather than facultative anaerobes accounted for more than 99...

BACKGROUND Alterations in the intestinal bacterial flora are believed to be contributing factors to many chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases including rheumatic diseases. While microbiological fecal culture analysis is now increasingly used, little is known about the relationship of changes in intestinal flora, dietary patterns and clinical outcome in specific diseases. To clarify th...

Fifty bifidobacteria strains were isolated from fecal samples of allergic and age matched healthy infants. Allergic infants were found to have an adult type Bifidobacterium flora with high levels of Bifidobacterium adolescentis. Healthy infants had a typical infant Bifidobacterium flora with high levels of Bifidobacterium bifidum. These isolates were tested for their adhesive properties to huma...
