| Research Abstract |
Disruption of the intestinal microflola balance and the function of enteric nervous system are caused by feeling stress in human and livestock. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the modulation of crosstalk between enteric nervous system and intestinal epithelium by the stimulation with lactic acid bacteria. We found that low-molecular peptidoglycan fragments, muramyl dipeptide, had an ability to modulate the function of enteric nervous system. The present study could help in the development of new physiologically functional probiotic foods, feeds and drugs contributing to modulation of enteric nervous system.
