| Summary: | The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem, associated with nutritional, metabolic, endocrine, immunological and psychological mechanisms; being the biocommunication between the intestine and brain stimulated by its products through the gut-brain axis. Supplementation with probiotics may provide host health benefits due to stimulation of growth of beneficial bacteria by modulating the microbiota. This project proposed to evaluate the effect of 30 day supplementation of Wistar rats with fermented milk containing probiotic (~ 8 log CFU of B. animalis BB12). The drink was made and offered by gavage. The behavior parameters evaluated by Open Field were: total ambulation, rearing frequency, grooming frequency, total grooming duration and total freezing time. |
