an eight-week experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary pediococcus pentosaceus as probiotic on the body composition and gut microbiota of siberian sturgeon, acipenser baerii . a total of 180 fish with mean body weight of 143±0.01g were randomly distributed into 12 200l fiberglass tanks as four treatments with three replicates, including groups fed with diet containing 2×10...

Numerous pharmaceutical agents can induce adverse reactions in the human body, including toxicity to the liver and the inflammation of intestines. Therefore, nowadays one of the most urgent problems in modern medical science is the prevention and restoration of morphological and dysbiosis disorders caused by numerous medications. With this background in mind, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy o...

Probiotic therapy is based on the concept of normal healthy microflora. The development of novel means of characterising the gut microflora, in particular those based on the different levels of conservation in the ribosomal RNA sequences of different genera, have opened up new angles on the role of the gut microflora in health and disease. Components of the human intestinal microflora or organi...

Directly after birth, bacteria commence to colonise the skin and the mucous membranes of the respiratory, urogenital and intestinal tract. With time, more or less complex bacterial ecosystems are established at various body surfaces, of which the normal intestinal microflora is the largest and most diverse. Thus, an adult individual harbours more than 400 bacterial species at this site. Most of...

Orally ingested probiotic micro-organisms do not exert health effects exclusively in the intestine. Some strains can alleviate or prevent bacterial, fungal or viral infections in other organs by stimulation of the immune system. By preservation or improvement of the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, they may inhibit translocation of potential pathogens and thus prevent infections of th...

The study of intestinal and oral microflora their metabolites playing an important role in homeostasis, has led to the identification species closely related development colorectal cancer, intracellular correlations fungi bacteria compared control. correlation between microbiota microflora, as well associated with mucous membrane large intestine, was revealed. It noted that use eu- probiotics i...

Paired caeca are situated at the junction of the small and large intestine and they normally contain a stable population of bacteria of very many different types [1, 6]. The flow rate is low in these regions which would allow for greater microbial multiplication in the lumen [18]. It is impossible to make detail microbial analysis of this heterogenous composite because the estimation of the mos...

We have conducted a detailed investigation into the absorption, metabolism and microflora-dependent transformation of hydroxytyrosol (HT), tyrosol (TYR) and their conjugated forms, such as oleuropein (OL). Conjugated forms underwent rapid hydrolysis under gastric conditions, resulting in significant increases in the amount of free HT and TYR entering the small intestine. Both HT and TYR transfe...

We investigated the effects of Cu2+-loaded silicate (CLS) on the growth performance, microflora of skin, gill and intestine, and intestinal morphology of crucian carp Carassius auratus. A total of 225 native wild crucian carp, with an average initial body weight of 20 g, were randomly divided into 5 treatment groups using 3 replicate tanks of 15 fish per group. The dietary treatments were (1) b...
