Abstract EN
The aim of the present study was to assess whether probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus casei (4 × 108 CFU) influences the antioxidant properties of human plasma when combined with prebiotic Inulin (400 mg).
Experiments were carried out on healthy volunteers (n=32).
Volunteers were divided according to sex (16 male and 16 female) and randomly assigned to synbiotic and control groups.
Blood samples were collected before synbiotic supplementation and after 7 weeks, at the end of the study.
Catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) in human plasma were examined.
The administration of synbiotics containing L.
casei plus Inulin resulted in a significant increase in FRAP values (p=0.00008) and CAT activity (p=0.02) and an insignificant increase in SOD and GPx activity compared to controls.
Synbiotics containing L.
casei (4 × 108 CFU) with prebiotic Inulin (400 mg) may have a positive influence on human plasma antioxidant capacity and the activity of selected antioxidant enzymes.
