- Description
Lactic acid bacteria (lab), used in the production of fermented dairy products, have been reported to have a positive effect on immune system function. In this study cow milk and soy milk yogurt prepared with commercial yogurt starter cultures combining Lactobacillus delbrueckii sub sp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus salivarius sub sp. thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus were mixed with nutritionally balanced powdered diet and fed to male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were injected weekly with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), a known colon carcinogen. Both experimental groups contained 7 animals. In addition, there was a biological reference group (n=7) that received no yogurt and no DMH and a control group (n=7) that received DMH, but no yogurt. Food intake and food spillage were recorded daily. Body weight was recorded weekly. Fecal enumeration of lactic acid bacteria was completed at -3, +5 and +11 weeks. Colon tumor number was measured at +11 weeks. The abov
