Research Abstract

We performed this open study to clarify the usefulness of Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS)fermented milk in the reduction of body weight and prevention of metabolic syndrome in obese children. A significant reduction of the fecal bifidobacteria and acetic acid concentration were noted in the obese children compared with the controls prior to treatment. Continuous intake of LcS fermented milk for six months contributed to a reduction of body weight and decreased serum triglyceride levels, accompanied by a significant increase in the number of fecal bifidobacteria and an increased fecal acetic acid level in the obese group in comparison with those treated with kinesitherapy and dietetic treatment during the same period. LcS may help increase the proliferation of intestinal bifidobacteria, resulting in beneficial effects on the lipid metabolism, as evidenced by the increased fecal acetic acid, one of the main products of these bacteria, in obese children.
