Figure 5.
Effect of Bifidobacterium breve (Bb) and Streptococcus thermophilus (St) conditioned media (CM), after treatment with pepsin/trypsin (PT), on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) secretion. Native and PT hydrolysed bacteria CM had the same inhibitory effect on LPS induced TNF-α secretion. ***Significantly different from LPS (p<0.0001); n = 8–13.
