Relationship between dementia and gut microbiome-associated metabolites: a cross-sectional study in Japan
Study designThis study was a sub-analysis of data from the gerontological investigation of microbiome: a longitudinal estimation study (the Gimlet study) at the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology (NCGG)4. The present sub-analysis study...
Characterization of lactic acid bacteria derived exopolysaccharides for use as a defined neuroprotective agent...
The identification of the isolates was done via sequencing each one’s 16 S rRNA gene region, resulting in the amplification of a fragment of 1492 bp. The isolates were shown to be lactobacilli and were ≥...
