Research Hightlight 1


Modulation of gut health parameters by probiotics and bioactive components in food. In this theme we are aiming to elucidate and define the effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for modulation of parameters related to gut health following exposure to food components (both harmful and beneficial)


Research Highlight 2


Management of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in young mice exposed to high fat diet by the use of probiotic and prebiotic. This study investigates manipulation of intestinal microflora linked to obesity, through long term exposure to western style diet, use of probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and prebiotic oat bran with high content of fibre and beta glucan. Individual as well as combined effects are being investigated with a special focus on microbiome population changes, inflammatory responses and fat and cholesterol metabolism, linked to NAFLD development.
