..To evaluate the effect of a probiotic, Lactobacillus acidophilus LB (LB), or a synbiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii plus inulin (SbI), on Helicobacter pylori (Hp) colonization in children...

..The aim of this study was to evaluate whether regular intake of cranberry juice and the probiotic Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 (La1) may result in an additive or synergistic inhibition of H. pylori in colonized children...

..Regular intake of these and other dietary products might constitute a low-cost, large-scale alternative solution applicable for populations at-risk for H. pylori colonization...

..These results indicate that acute oral exposure to 10 mg Cu/L exerts an effect on gastric but not intestinal mucosa, reducing the gastric mucosal barrier capacity, independently of the appearance of gastrointestinal symptoms...

..A cholesterol-lowering capacity has also been described for some microorganisms. Not all the fermenting microorganisms have probiotic capacities as the latter are strain-specific...

..016 and 0.000001, respectively). No differences between the OF and Control groups were observed for sucrose excretion or L/M ratio. In conclusion, the normalization of gastrointestinal permeability is not accelerated by prebiotic intake...

..48, P = 0.0074). CONCLUSIONS: Regular ingestion of a product containing Lactobacillus La1 may represent an interesting alternative to modulate H. pylori colonization in children infected by this pathogen...

..Using such a cellular model, we addressed here the cytoprotective potential of a recently standardized apple peel polyphenol extract, APPE...

..Thus, coerulear activation by CRH would be involved in hypertension and tachycardia developed by prenatally malnourished animals...

..The regular intake of a La1-containing product beneficially affects the homeostasis of the human fecal microbiota, probably contributing to the health-promoting effects of this probiotic...

..These results confirm the presence of higher counts of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the microbiota of BF infants compared to formula-fed infants before dietary diversification, and that La1 survives in the infant digestive tract...

..No gastrointestinal symptoms were detected during the prebiotic administration. Prebiotics in a milk formula increase fecal bifidobacteria early after amoxicillin treatment without inducing gastrointestinal symptoms...

..The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate nutritional, functional and morphologic intestinal changes, after radiotherapy...

..Obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation contributing to insulin-resistance. Gut barrier alterations, described in animal models of obesity, probably favour inflammation. This has not been hitherto described in obese humans...

..Smoking is a risk factor for gastroduodenal ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms induced by acute cigarette smoking in the human gastric mucosa are poorly understood...

..However, a decrease of rotavirus shedding was observed in infants fed the formula with 10(9) Bb12/g, a finding of probable epidemiological importance in the transmission of this agent...

..63 fragment were found in 10 out of 11 faecal samples. Bifidobacterium adolescentis and B. bifidum were detected in five out of 11 subjects. Thus, cPCR and PCR-TTGE can be associated in order to characterize human faecal bifidobacteria...
