Summary

Dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been reported to be involved in the development of hypercholesterolemia in both humans and animal models. Probiotics have been reported to have ameliorative effects in murine models. However, whether probiotics could help alleviate dyslipidemia in adults remain obscure.

Detailed description

Probiotics are live microorganisms that have been associated with multiple health benefits. However, its protective role in adults has long been controversial. This study aims to examine the effect of 12-week probiotics supplementation on lipid management in Chinese adults. By understanding the mechanism by which probiotics exert the beneficial effects, we can better control the rising prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
