Probiotics are characterized as beneficial live microorganisms which, when consumed in sufficient quantities, provide measurable health advantages to the host organism. These beneficial microbes, primarily comprising specific strains of bacteria and yeasts, play a critical role in restoring and maintaining gut microbiota homeostasis, enhancing gastrointestinal health, strengthening immune responses, and exerting systemic physiological effects beyond the digestive tract. This review explores the therapeutic potential of probiotics in managing immune-mediated and inflammatory conditions, with a particular emphasis on their role in reestablishing gastrointestinal equilibrium. Emerging clinical evidence underscores the efficacy of probiotics in addressing conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), metabolic syndrome, and other gastrointestinal disorders. Notably, strains of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus have demonstrated therapeutic benefits by enhancing mucosal barrier integrity and modulating immune responses through the regulation of cytokine production. Furthermore, chronic inflammatory states are increasingly linked to the pathogenesis of complex diseases, highlighting the importance of probiotics as a preventive and therapeutic strategy. This review also emphasizes the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of probiotics and their implications for public health, advocating for greater awareness of their potential in mitigating inflammation-related diseases.
益生菌的特征是有益的活微生物,当摄入足够数量时,能为宿主生物体带来可衡量的健康益处。这些有益微生物主要包括特定菌株的细菌和酵母,在恢复和维持肠道微生物群稳态、增强胃肠道健康、加强免疫反应以及在消化道之外发挥全身生理作用方面发挥着关键作用。本综述探讨了益生菌在管理免疫介导和炎症性疾病方面的治疗潜力,特别强调它们在重建胃肠道平衡中的作用。新出现的临床证据强调了益生菌在治疗诸如炎症性肠病(IBD)、代谢综合征和其他胃肠道疾病方面的功效。值得注意的是,双歧杆菌和乳酸杆菌菌株已通过增强黏膜屏障完整性和通过调节细胞因子产生来调节免疫反应而显示出治疗益处。此外,慢性炎症状态与复杂疾病的发病机制越来越相关,凸显了益生菌作为预防和治疗策略的重要性。本综述还强调了益生菌的抗炎机制及其对公共卫生的影响,倡导人们更多地认识到它们在减轻炎症相关疾病方面的潜力。
