摘要：Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG was assessed for its ability to alleviate DSS-induced colitis in mice and activate epidermal growth factor receptor and Akt signaling in intestinal epithelial cells. In this study mice were treated with DSS to induce colitis and they were given Lactobacillus GG fermented milk to assess the effect of probiotic on colitis. Lactobacillus GG fermented milk significantly reduced the colitis associated changes suggesting a protective effect against DSS induced colitis.Keywords: Lactobacillus GG; fermented milk; colitis; EGF receptor; intestinal epithelial cell(Published: 18 June 2012)Citation: Microbial Ecology in Health & Disease 2012, 23: 18586 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/mehd.v23i0.18586
