Disclosed is a strain of
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum named dipro-O. The
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum dipro-O used in the present invention has the ability to overproduce BSH, the ability to reduce
cholesterol, and the ability to metabolize
tryptophan into indole-3-
lactic acid, can effectively reduce
body weight, significantly lower
insulin resistance levels resulting from high-fat diets, reduce the expression of the inflammatory
cytokine TNF-α, significantly lower the levels of
total cholesterol (TC) and low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood, and increase the level of high-density
lipoprotein (HDL), and can ameliorate disorders of the
gut microbiome structure. In addition, the strain can also have an ameliorating effect on other
lipid metabolism-related diseases such as
hyperlipidemia, thereby providing health interventions for the host's
body weight, liver, intestinal health, and blood lipid levels. Moreover, pasteurized dipro-O can also have the effect of regulating
lipid metabolism, further extending the range of applications of the strain.
