Summary
Obesity is a serious global public health issue. Many reports have showed that the use of
appropriate probiotics can bring benefits to the health of the host and promote the balance
of gut microbiota. Clinical experimental data show that the supplement of probiotics can help
regulate gut function and weight control, and etc.
TCI378 (Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378) is a probiotic extracted from Korean kimchi, and
TCI507 (Lactobacillus plantarum TCI507) is a probiotic extracted from the oranges peels.
These two strains of probiotics have been verified by in vitro experiments to have the effect
of hydrolyzing bile salts, inhibition of the production of fat cells. Therefore, we want to
evaluate whether the probiotics TCI308 and TCI507 have effects on reduction of body weight.
