Triglyceride level lowering |
Human | Twelve-week trial using Bacillus licheniformis in combination with another spore forming bacilli probiotics have remarkable triglyceride lowering | 2020 | Campbell et al., 2020 |
Radiotherapy side effects protection | Human | In pediatric patients with central nervous system tumor, probiotics may have a critical preventive function in the etiology of gastrointestinal symptoms caused by radiotherapy. Gut barrier function, innate immunity, and intestinal repairmen can all be influenced by Bacillus licheniformis probiotics. Probiotics given prophylactically during irradiation therapy for CNS tumor patients can alleviate RT-related symptoms and improve cancer patients’ quality of life, in part by lowering inflammatory reactions and gastrointestinal toxicity. | 2017 | Du et al., 2018 |
Endotoxemia, Triglyceride lowering and inflammatory biomarkers |
Human | After 30 days of B. licheniformis with other spore-based probiotic supplementation, dietary endotoxin, triglycerides, and possibly systemic inflammation were reduced. Changes in the gut microbiome, gut permeability, or a combination of the two could be the underlying cause of the observed reductions in post-prandial endotoxemia. More research is needed to confirm if a longer period of treatment with a spore-based probiotic leads to further health benefits. | 2017 | McFarlin et al., 2017 |
