Mixing probiotic milkshakes can slow weight gain

a milkshake containing eight different probiotics can slow the weight gain of healthy young people on a high-fat, high-energy diet, according to a new study.researchers at Virginia Tech said people who ate high-fat foods had lower weight and fat build-up after supplementing their intake with probiotic shakes.on the other hand, the mixture of probiotics, known as
"VSL"3"
, did not affect the level of inflammatory factors, according to a study in the Journal of Obesity."
Our results are consistent with previous studies, adding
VSL s3
to rodent feed, as well as other single probiotics, to reduce body weight and fat content in the calcium diet. Similarly, our study is consistent with the results of another previous study, which found that young healthy individuals had lower levels of fat when they were supplemented with a single probiotic
Shirota
) in a high-fat diet.
”The study was sponsored
by
company VSL Pharmaceuticals.on intestinal health and obesity the study also looked at the effects of long-term colonies on metabolic factors and obesity.
Jeffrey Gordon
of Washington University in St. Louis confirmed in a
2005
study that obese mice had lower levels of Bacillus pyrethroids in their guts and higher levels of thick-walled bacteria than thin mice.A year later, Dr.
Gordon
found similar results in people: obese patients and healthy people had different intestinal bacteriobacteria, and when obese patients lost weight, their gut virlobis were similar to those of healthy people, suggesting that obesity may be related to gut bacteria (the study was published in the journal
Nature
).a recent study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine suggests that dietary intake of probiotics can alter many metabolic paths, especially those associated with sugar metabolism.The Virginia Tech study did not address the potential metabolic effects of exercise, but the researchers found that rapid changes in the structure of the gut microbiome can affect nutrient absorption, and that probiotic intake reduces the body's energy from food, thereby reducing weight and fat build-up.other possible mechanisms include reducing the absorption of lipids in the gut, or increasing energy consumption by increasing the secretion of
GLP-1
(glutaethione-like peptides
-1
).details a team led by Dr
. Matthew Hulver
, chair of Virginia Tech's Department of Human Nutrition, Food and Exercise, brought together
20,
healthy men aged
18
to
30
. The volunteers first ate the energy-balanced diet provided by the experiment, which lasted
2
weeks, and then were randomly grouped into a high-fat diet of
plus VSL-3
and a simple high-fat diet for
4
weeks.mixed bacteria
VSL 3
contains the following species: hot streptococcus
DSM24731
, lactobacillus acidophilus
DSM24735
, Bulgarian Lactobacillus
DSM24734
, sub-cheese
SM24733
, Plant Lactobacillus
DSM24730
, Long Bifidobacteria
DSM24736
, Baby Bifidobacteria
DSM24737
, Short Bifidobacteria
DSM24732
.results show that

weeks of high-fat dietary intake, weight and fat content increased by an average of
2.3
kg and
1.3
kg, respectively, while the study group of probiotics increased their weight and fat content by
1.4
kg and
0.6
kg, respectively."
The main result of the current study is that dietary supplementation with a mixture of probiotics
VSL-3
can protect young healthy males from a high-fat diet, slow weight gain, and reduce fat build-up.
," Dr.
Hulver and his team wrote in the article. follow-up researchers said the next study focused on the mechanisms of the effects of probiotics on weight management. The "
follow-up study will focus on the effects of high-fat diet intake and duration on insulin sensitivity, as well as the metabolism of exoskeleton muscles;
