Project code: MRI-PBE-08-006
Contract period: 01.01.2001 - 31.12.2016
Purpose of research: Basic research

Disclosure of probiotic mechanisms, e.g. effects on intestinal gene expression. Feeding germ-free rats the probiotic bacterium LGG for two weeks induced an upregulation of the genes for matrin 3, guanin-nucleotide-binding protein and for poly-ubiquitin in the mucosa of the small intestine, while genes for cytochrom-oxidase C and ferritin were downregulated. A context to established mechanisms of effecs of probiotic bacteria has not been found yet.
