Probiotics Reduce Risk of Liver Cancer
A daily probiotic supplement could reduce the risk of liver cancer caused by fungal toxins in foods, a leading cause of the disease.
The double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups randomly assigned the volunteers to either the intervention group – two probiotic capsules per day containing a mixture of the strains Lactobacillus and Propionibacterium, or placebo.
“Probiotic administration led to a statistically significant decrease in the level of urinary excretion of AFB-N7-guanine. The reduction was 36 per cent at week three and 55 per cent at week five,” wrote lead author Hani El-Nezami. The reduction in excretion levels of the aflotoxin metabolite indicates that the concentration within the body of carcinogens was decreasing.
