Figure 9.B. infantis 35624-feeding reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines levels from LPS stimulated PBMCs in healthy volunteers. In vitro LPS stimulated PBMCs displayed decreased secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α following B. infantis 35624 oral consumption (n = 10) for eight weeks. This finding was not observed in the placebo group (n = 12). Results are expressed as the change from baseline (post-treatment minus pre-treatment level) for each individual. *p < 0.05 vs. placebo group (Mann-Whitney U test).
