the aim of this randomized placebo-controlled study was to investigate the effect of probiotics mainly on plasma lipids, homocysteine levels, glycemic biomarkers and inflammatory marker in people with hyperlipidemia, compared to a placebo. a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study was completed with a total of 51 men and women who have diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. The three study interventions were: 1) probiotic group I asked to take once a day 1 x 106 colony forming unit (CFU) Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG microorganism (n = 18) capsule; 2) probiotic group II asked to take once a day of a combined Lactobacillus acidophilus 1 x 109 CFU and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp.lactis 1 x 109 CFU probiotic capsule (n = 17); and 3) placebo group: emptied capsule (n = 16), plasma lipids, homocysteine, and glycemic biomarkers were were performed at baseline and week 8. Also, hs-CRP levels was assessed as inflammatory parameter. compared to baseline there was a significant decrease in triglyceride and total cholesterol levels of the both intervention groups compared to the placebo group. Regarding the glycemic biomarkers. both intervention groups significantly alter the HOMA-IR values compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). When homocysteine values were evaluated. a statistically significant decrease was observed only in the group using the combined strain (p < 0.05). Results demonstrated that regular and strain-specific use of probiotics have effective and favorable consequences on plasma lipids and glycemic biomarkers. probiotics containing Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium could be effective in hypercholesterolemic patients, reducing serum lipids as well as homocysteine and glycaemia.
