Strain-Specific Effects of <i>Bifidobacterium longum</i> on Hypercholesterolemic Rats and Potential Mechanisms

Strain-Specific Effects of <i>Bifidobacterium longum</i> on Hypercholesterolemic Rats and Potential Mechanisms

Hypercholesterolemia is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease, which is among the major causes of death worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore whether Bifidobacterium longum strains exerted intra-species differences in cholesterol-lowering effects in hypercholesterolemic rats...
