Abstract:: ... Insoluble residue (INS) is a lignin-rich fraction of brewer’s spent grain (BSG) that also contains β-glucan and arabinoxylan, the major constituents of dietary fiber. We investigated the effects of INS in diet-induced obese mice in terms of lipid metabolism and metabolic diseases. Male mice (C57bl6) were fed a high-fat diet (HFD), a HFD + 20% INS, a HFD + 20% cellulose (CEL), a HFD with a combinat ...

Abstract:: ... Cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that causes a variety of disturbances in biological systems, including brain dysfunction and testicular tissue degeneration. On the other hand, it is supposed that beneficial properties of probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus and Acidobacillus) are related to their capacity to adhere or bind different targets, thus leading to improved in ...

Abstract:: ... Lactobacilli are recognized as probiotics on account of their health-promoting effects in the host. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge of the mechanisms of the adaption factors and main functions of lactobacilli that exert health-promoting effects in the host and to discuss important applications in animal and human health. The adaption mechanisms of lactobacilli facilitate i ...

Abstract:: ... Tempe fermented with Rhizopus microsporus has several health benefits. However, the effects of tempe fermented with other fungal species of the genus Rhizopus are largely unknown. Rats were fed a high-fat diet, which was supplemented with 20% tempe fermented with either R. microsporus (RM), R. oryzae (RO), or R. stolonifer (RS). Rats fed tempe RS had markedly elevated cecal numbers of Bifidobacter ...
