Background and aims: Comparative animal study of efficacy of intermittent short courses administration of lyophilized single-, three- and alive multistrain probiotic on insulin resistance in rats with experimental obesity.Methods: We included 70 rats divided into 7 groups (n=10 in each). Rats of group I were intact. Newborn rats of groups II-VII were injected with monosodium glutamate (MSG) (4 mg/g). Rats of group II (MSG-obesity group) were unt...

Introduction: The beneficial interaction between the microbiota and humans is the way how bacteria contained within the gut ‘talk’ to the immune system. Into this landscape probiotics and nutraceuticals play a major role. The study aims to determine whether probiotics plus nutraceuticals such as smectite or omega-3 are superior to probiotic alone on the monosodium glutamate (MSG) induced obesity model in rats.Methods: Totally 7...

Background: Probiotics and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplementation (PUFA) have beneficial effect on obesity related disorders in animal models. We have previously shown, on rats with monosodium glutamate-induced obesity, that in take of the combination based on live probiotics and omega-3 PUFA is accompanied by the preventive effect concerning experimental obesity development, lead toinsulin resistance (IR) improvement and more obvious decrease of he paticsteatosis...
