Abstract

Accelerating growth of the evidences refers that dietary supplementation with probiotic bacteria in fermented milk improves the lipid profile. Two genera of probiotics bacteria as bio-starters at the level of "107 CFU/ml" in fermented milk (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) were used to examine their beneficial effect on the lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic rats which were administered for feeding on high cholesterol diet for two months. Significant going down of the serum total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol levels, but scale-up of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol were noticed after dietary supplement with probiotic bacteria in hypercholesterolemic rats. Hence, this indicates to the useful of fermented milk for improving the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
