The invention relates to application of
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 in preparation of a preparation for relieving depression or
anxiety. The
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 is a strain of the
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 with the preservation number of CGMCC (China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center) No.22547, and the strain of the
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 is a strain of the
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 with the preservation number of CGMCC No.22547. The invention develops a brand new application of the
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 strain, namely, the bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 strain is used for relieving depression or
anxiety symptoms, specifically, the bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BLa80 strain can stimulate RIN14B cells to secrete 5-HT, can relieve depression and
anxiety-like behaviors of mice suffering from depression and anxiety, can relieve
hyperfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), and can relieve depression and anxiety-like behaviors of mice suffering from depression and anxiety. The
inflammatory response of mice with depression and anxiety is relieved, the expression level of brain-derived
neurotrophic factors in
hippocampus of the mice with depression and anxiety is improved, the abundance of intestinal beneficial
flora of the mice with depression and anxiety is improved, and the diversity of intestinal
flora is increased.
