Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel use of bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium, especially but not limited to bacteria of Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis strain 420 (B420). The invention also relates to food products, dietary supplements and pharmaceutically acceptable formulations containing said bacteria. Background technique
[0002] Regulation of energy balance is essential for the survival of organisms. When nutrients are freely available, they are stored to address low energy intake during periods of scarcity. Under normal conditions, the brain, together with energy storage tissues, regulates energy balance by reducing energy intake when energy stores become crowded. If the energy storage machinery is disturbed, the brain is no longer able to maintain energy balance. This can lead to an inability to maintain adequate energy intake, often manifested as frailty in older populations, or to excess energy stores in adipose tissue ...
