Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="idt12154-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Nowadays, studies about the anti‐obesity potential of probiotics are of growing interest. <italic>Lactobacilli</italic> are one of the well‐studied probiotics owing to their preventing effect on metabolic disorders. This study was undertaken to access the anti‐obesity effect of probiotic dahi containing <italic>Lactobacillus casei </italic>NCDC 19 on C57BL/6 mice. Feeding of probiotic dahi showed reduce body weight gain and epididymal fat weights. Moreover, blood glucose, plasma lipids and expression level of leptin were reduced and caecal <italic>bifidobacteria</italic> counts and adiponectin expression levels were significantly increased. It can be concluded that feeding of probiotic dahi containing <italic>L. casei </italic>NCDC 19 showed potential anti‐obesity effects.</p> </abstract>
