Neuroprotective Activity of (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate against Lipopolysaccharide-Mediated Cytotoxicity by Jin-Biao Liu, Li Zhou, Yi-Zhong Wang, Xu Wang, Yu Zhou, Wen-Zhe Ho, Jie-Liang Li

“…In addition, EGCG significantly diminished LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines in the peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs). Supernatant from EGCG-pretreated and LPS-activated macrophage cultures was found to be less cytotoxic to neurons than that from non-EGCG-pretreated and LPS-activated macrophage cultures. …”

Bifidobacterium fermentation with infant formulas is associated with benefits for gut and brain barrier function by Emily G. Knox, Paula Sánchez-Díaz, Colin Buttimer, Sarah-Jane Leigh, Klara Vlckova, Colin Hill, Elaine Kennedy, Jonathan O’Regan, Seamus McSweeney, David Goulding, Maria Rodriguez Aburto, Caitriona M. O’Driscoll, John F. Cryan, Eoin Gunnigle, Gerard Clarke

“…Here, we evaluated the impact of four infant formulas fermented with three Bifidobacterium strains, originally isolated from infant stool, on gut and BBB integrity. Cell-free supernatants from these fermentations were exposed to cultures of T84 colonocytes (gut barrier model) or bEnd.3 brain endothelial cells (BBB model), with and without lipopolysaccharide challenge. …”
