Laxative Effect of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Glory LG12: from the Perspective of the Stem Cell Factor/C-kit Signaling Pathway by XIANG Fangqin, LI Yuxing, LI Bailiang

“…Results: Compared with the model group, medium- and high-dose L. rhamnosus Glory LG12 significantly reduced the time taken until the first black stool excretion (P < 0.001), increased the number and mass of black stools within 5 h (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively), and improved the ink propulsion rate in the small intestine (P < 0.001). In addition, both treatments elevated the serum levels of motilin (MTL), gastrin (Gas), substance P (SP), and interleukin 10 (IL-10), reduced the levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), somatostatin (SS), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and IL-6, up-regulated the relative mRNA expression of SCF and C-kit in colonic tissue was (P < 0.01, P < 0.001), and restored damaged colonic barrier. …”
