Inflammation and oxidative stress are key risk factors in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Probiotics have been suggested to be beneficial in mitigating inflammation and oxidative stress; however, the evidence remains inconsistent due to variations in study design, dosage, and patient populations.
Studies were included following a systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE, provided they fulfilled the eligibility criteria. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to clarify the effects of probiotics on oxidative stress and inflammation in non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
A review of 18 studies revealed that probiotic supplementation significantly reduced CRP (SMD = -1.33, 95% CI: -1.84, -0.82; p < 0.001, high certainty), TNF-α (SMD = -1.10, 95% CI: -1.66, -0.55; p < 0.001, low certainty), and MDA levels (SMD = -1.38, 95% CI: -2.08, -0.69; p < 0.001, high certainty). Additionally, while probiotics increased GSH levels (SMD = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.06, 1.23; p < 0.001, high certainty), they did not change the levels of IL-6 (SMD = -1.05, 95% CI: -2.21, 0.11; p < 0.001, low certainty), NO (SMD = 0.47, 95% CI: -0.54, 1.48; p = 0.363, low certainty) and TAC levels (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI: -0.27, 0.74; p = 0.357, moderate certainty).
The supplementation of probiotics may have mitigated biomarkers associated with inflammation and oxidative stress.
炎症和氧化应激是非传染性疾病(NCDs)的关键风险因素。已表明益生菌有助于减轻炎症和氧化应激;然而,由于研究设计、剂量和患者群体的差异,证据仍然不一致。
在对PubMed、Scopus、Cochrane图书馆、科学网和EMBASE进行系统检索后纳入研究,前提是它们符合纳入标准。这项对随机对照试验(RCTs)的系统评价和荟萃分析旨在阐明益生菌对非传染性疾病(NCDs)中氧化应激和炎症的影响。
对18项研究的综述显示,补充益生菌显著降低了CRP(标准化均数差[SMD]=-1.33,95%置信区间[CI]:-1.84,-0.82;p<0.001,高确定性)、TNF-α(SMD=-1.10,95%CI:-1.66,-0.55;p<0.001,低确定性)和丙二醛(MDA)水平(SMD=-1.38,95%CI:-2.08,-0.69;p<0.001,高确定性)。此外,虽然益生菌增加了谷胱甘肽(GSH)水平(SMD=0.65,95%CI:0.06,1.23;p<0.001,高确定性),但它们并未改变白细胞介素-6(IL-6)水平(SMD=-1.05,95%CI:-2.21,0.11;p<0.001,低确定性)、一氧化氮(NO)水平(SMD=0.47,95%CI:-0.54,1.48;p=0.363,低确定性)和总抗氧化能力(TAC)水平(SMD=0.24,95%CI:-0.27,0.74;p=0.357,中等确定性)。
补充益生菌可能减轻了与炎症和氧化应激相关的生物标志物。
