The effect of oral administration of brewer's yeast on resistance to infectious diseases was studied in laboratory animals. It was shown that there was a significantly increased enhancement of resistance to seasonal respiratory and enteric infections in rhesus monkeys. Similarly, enhanced resistance to experimental chronic infections was observed in mice after yeast administration. A 2-week lag occurred between the initiation of yeast treatment and the expression of enhanced resistance. Study of the mechanism of the yeast-induced enhancement of resistance to infection leads to the conclusion that it is based on in vivo stimulation of phagocytosis, as measured by the "phagocytic index." No effect of brewer's yeast on circulating antibody levels was detected.
在实验动物中研究了口服啤酒酵母对传染病抵抗力的影响。结果表明,恒河猴对季节性呼吸道和肠道感染的抵抗力显著增强。同样,给小鼠投喂酵母后,观察到其对实验性慢性感染的抵抗力增强。酵母治疗开始与抵抗力增强的表现之间存在2周的延迟。对酵母诱导的抗感染抵抗力增强机制的研究得出结论,其基于通过“吞噬指数”测量的体内吞噬作用刺激。未检测到啤酒酵母对循环抗体水平的影响。
