Combined Use of C. butyricum Sx-01 and L. salivarius C-1-3 Improves Intestinal Health and Reduces the Amount of Lipids in Serum via Modulation of Gut Microbiota in Mice.

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to investigate whether combined use of C. butyricum Sx-01 and L. salivarius C-1-3 could improve the intestinal health and reduce the lipid levels in sera of mice and whether these benefits were related to regulating the intestinal microflora. Eighty Kunming male mice were divided into four groups with five replicates per group and four mice per replicate. Mice in the control group were administrated with 0.2 mL normal saline; mice in three experimental groups were daily orally administrated with 4 × 10⁸ cfu of L. salivarius, 4 × 10⁸ cfu of C. butyricum, and a combination thereof (2 × 10⁸ cfu of L. salivarius, and 2 × 10⁸ cfu of C. butyricum), respectively. The experiment lasted for 14 days. The result
