Probiotic strain Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is widely sold on the market as a probiotic or added supplement in dairy foods because of its benefits human health. However, due to deficiency lactose and casein utilization, LGG does not grow well milk.

OBJECTIVES To determine if probiotic administration during the first 6 months of life decreases childhood asthma and eczema. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind controlled trial of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) supplementation on the cumulative incidence of eczema (primary end point) and asthma and rhinitis (secondary end points) in high-risk infants. For the first 6 months of ...

Endotoxemia is a contributing cofactor to alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and alcohol-induced increased intestinal permeability is one of the mechanisms of endotoxin absorption. Probiotic bacteria have been shown to promote intestinal epithelial integrity and protect barrier function in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and in ALD. Although it is highly possible that some common molecules secrete...

Aim of study: To address diversification citrus cultivars to increase the variety and profitability orchards adapt them environmental changes.
 Area State São Paulo, a subtropical region southeastern Brazil.
 Material methods: The study evaluated phenological intervals, thermal sum, vegetative productive performance, fruit quality sweet orange ‘Rubi’ (R), ‘Lue Gin Gong’ (LGG) ‘Valenci...

A patient developed immune hemolysis and thrombocytopenia while receiving quinidine. In vitro testing showed that antiquinidine antibodies of the lgG class were active against both cell lines. Complementand drug-dependent platelet lysis occurred with either the patient’s serum or his lgG fraction; there was no reaction with his 1gM fraction. Drug-dependent red cell antibodies were studied by an...

Ethanol is a widely consumed drug, which acts on the central nervous system to induce behavioral alterations ranging from disinhibition to sedation. Recent studies have produced accumulating evidence for the therapeutic role of probiotic bacteria in behavior. We aimed to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on the behavior of adult zebrafish chronically exposed to ethanol....

Although observations have implied that lupus anticoagulants have immunologic specificity toward anionic phospholipids. this assumption has been directly demonstrated in only one patient with a monoclonal 1gM paraprotein. We tested the generality of this hypothesis directly by isolating five lgG lupus anticoagulants from patients with lupuslike syndromes and/or thrombosis. lgG lupus anticoagula...

The pathogenesis of diphenylhydantoin-induced pure red cell aplasia was investigated in the case of a 32-year-old man who developed pure red cell aplasia while he was under treatment with diphenylhydantoin. The patient’s serum lgG purified from serum drawn at the time of diagnosis suppressed normal allogeneic marrow colonyforming (CFU-E) and burst-forming (BFU-E) and autologous blood BFU-E grow...

BACKGROUND Late-onset GM2 gangliosidosis (LGG) is a rare disease that is often considered in the differential diagnosis of adolescents and young adults who present with multiple realms of neurologic dysfunction. Cognitive disturbances are common but have not been systematically studied. OBJECTIVE To determine the natural history of cognitive dysfunction in patients with LGG. DESIGN Case ser...

Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (LGG) has been studied extensively as a probiotic in humans. However, the ability of an organism to survive passage through the intestinal tract and exert beneficial effects cannot be directly extrapolated between species. This study evaluated the ability of LGG to survive gastrointestinal transit in dogs and assessed whether oral administration of LGG is safe,...
