Impact of Bifidobacterium longum NSP001 on DSS-induced colitis in conventional and humanised mice by Menglin Chen, Hong Yao, Huizi Tan, Wenqi Huang, Quanyong Wu, Shaoping Nie

“…But the abnormal thymus index, and colonic production of ZO-1 and iNOS were improved only in colitis mice treated with B. longum NSP001 and humanised microbiome. The accumulation of acetic acid and propionic acid in colon microbiome, and the optimization of primary bile acid biosynthesis and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways in cecum commensals were likely to explain the beneficial effects of B. longum NSP001. …”
