claimNotably, GP restored colonic barrier integrity: GP potently upregulated the mRNA expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin in the mechanical barrier and exhibited the most substantial restoration of both MUC2 and MUC4 expression levels in the mucins barrier, as well as reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-17 and elevated anti-inflammatory IL-10 in the immune barrier.

topicLactobacillus Gut Barrier Randomized Trial
claimIn a chronic Pb(II) exposure mouse model, GMNL-93 and GMNL-277 more effectively mitigated Pb(II)-associated liver damage, and upregulated RNA expression of gut function-associated proteins (e.g., Cldn3, Cldn5, and Muc5).

topicLactobacillus Gut Barrier Randomized Trial
claimMicrobiome and functional pathway analyses suggested strain-specific modes of action: GMNL-93 was associated with shifts in microbial composition and enrichment of pathways linked to redox balance and bile acid metabolism, whereas GMNL-277 was linked to enhanced thiamine-related metabolism; GMNL-32 showed comparatively limited protective.
