Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host when administrated in adequate amounts [1,2]
We present the evaluation of probiotic supplement containing a combination of yeast β-glucans, organic selenium and lactoferrin in BALB/c mice during 30 days
Recombinant lactoferrin was used as a dry yeast extract from transformed S. cerevisiae strain that expresses modified murine lactoferrin gene under the control of the promoter of the glyceraldehyde-3phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) gene, the level of LF production were established by immune dot blotting using our own anti-LF polyclonal antibodies and Protein A-peroxidase conjugate (AbCam, Cambridge, UK)
Summary
Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host when administrated in adequate amounts [1,2]. Yeast strains are used as probiotic fungi in order to improve health and physiological conditions in many living organisms including humans as well as other vertebrates [5]. They could act in many beneficial forms that include (i) the prevention of binding and adhesion to the intestinal epithelium of pathogens, a. Stimulation of the innate immune system and the antiinflammatory, anti-stress and hepatoprotective processes, among other benefits for the better physiological functioning of the entire organism [6,7,8]
