Probiotics were isolated from fruits and vegetables. Microscopic, biochemical, and molecular tests were carried out for the characterization of strains of probiotics. To assess the effects of isolated probiotics on immunity, male and female (15 + 15) Wistar rats were randomly distributed into 5 groups: 0-day, negative control, positive control (commercially available Lactobacillus acidophilus-14), laboratory isolated probiotics with accession numbers; Lactobacillus plantarum (MZ707748) and Lactobacillus plantarum (MZ729681), respectively. After hematological investigations, the amounts of IgA and IgG in male and female groups were significantly different (p < 0.05). At the same time, the values of Alanine-transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate-aminotransferase (AST) in both genders were average, and there were no differences (p > 0.05). Male probiotic-treated groups had decreased levels of interleukin-6, bilirubin, and creatinine, but female probiotic-treated groups had a slight rise in bilirubin and creatinine values (p = 0.05). Cellular blood count levels of Hematocrit (HCT) and white blood cells (WBC) in male groups showed considerable differences (p < 0.05), while there were no differences (p > 0.05) in female groups. Levels of Red blood cells (RBC) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) showed distinct changes (p < 0.05) in female groups, while these values were insignificant changes (p > 0.05) among male groups. There were considerable differences between the control and groups that were given probiotics. Histopathological results showed no damage to the liver and thymus. A fecal examination of rats was used to examine the viability and survival of Lactobacilli. Based on blood tests, it was observed that the immune system was boosted and improved in probiotic-treated groups compared to control groups.
益生菌是从水果和蔬菜中分离出来的。对益生菌菌株进行了显微镜、生化和分子测试以进行鉴定。为了评估分离出的益生菌对免疫力的影响,将(15 + 15)只雄性和雌性Wistar大鼠随机分为5组:0天组、阴性对照组、阳性对照组(市售嗜酸乳杆菌 - 14)、实验室分离的保藏编号分别为植物乳杆菌(MZ707748)和植物乳杆菌(MZ729681)的益生菌组。血液学检查后,雄性和雌性组中IgA和IgG的含量存在显著差异(p < 0.05)。同时,两性的丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)和天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)值均为平均值,且无差异(p > 0.05)。雄性益生菌处理组的白细胞介素 - 6、胆红素和肌酐水平降低,但雌性益生菌处理组的胆红素和肌酐值略有升高(p = 0.05)。雄性组中血细胞比容(HCT)和白细胞(WBC)的细胞血液计数水平存在显著差异(p < 0.05),而雌性组中无差异(p > 0.05)。红细胞(RBC)水平和平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度(MCHC)在雌性组中显示出明显变化(p < 0.05),而在雄性组中这些值变化不显著(p > 0.05)。对照组和给予益生菌的组之间存在显著差异。组织病理学结果显示肝脏和胸腺无损伤。对大鼠进行粪便检查以检测乳酸杆菌的活力和存活率。基于血液检测,观察到与对照组相比,益生菌处理组的免疫系统得到增强和改善。
