Effect of Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC08 on phagocytosis of macrophages in mice with tongue cancer.
| Group | Phagocytic Percentage (%) | Phagocytic Index |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 37.62 ± 2.55 a | 1.71 ± 0.18 a |
| Control | 16.31 ± 2.03 d | 0.56 ± 0.07 d |
| LDSB | 22.17 ± 2.19 c | 0.94 ± 0.08 c |
| LF-CQPC08-L | 23.02 ± 2.67 c | 0.98 ± 0.11 c |
| LF-CQPC08-H | 30.12 ± 1.74 b | 1.39 ± 0.12 b |
Values presented are the mean ± standard deviation (N = 10/group). a–d Mean values with different letters in the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple-range test. LDSB: mice treated with 4NQO and Lactobacillus delbruechii subsp. bulgaricus (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg); LF-CQPC08-L: mice treated with 4NQO and Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC08 (1.0 × 108 CFU/kg); LF-CQPC08-H: mice treated with 4NQO and Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC08 (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg).
