Supplementation of Dual Probiotic Strains Reduced Fasting Triglyceride and Enhanced Apolipoprotein A-V Levels

Supplementation of Dual Probiotic Strains, Lactobacillus Curvatus HY7601 and Lactobacillus Plantarum KY1032, Reduced Fasting Triglyceride and Enhanced Apolipoprotein A-V Levels in Nondiabetic and Hypertriglyceridemic Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dual probiotic strains containing Lactobacillus curvatus HY7601 and Lactobacillus plantarum KY1032 on triglyceride and apolipoprotein A-V.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 128 nondiabetic and hypertriglyceridemic (Plasma Triglyceride, 150-500 mg/dL) subjects. Over a 12 week test period, the probiotic group consumed 2g of powder daily containing dual probiotic strains, while the placebo group consumed the same without probiotics.
