Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, offer a variety of health benefits. Recent research has shown that probiotics have anti-inflammatory effects and can improve health outcomes in several ways. Inflammation is a normal immune response to infection or injury. However, chronic inflammation can lead to a variety of health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease. Probiotics have been shown to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation in a number of ways, including by decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect original research manuscripts and reviews on the effects of probiotics on inflammation and health outcomes. The articles in this issue cover a range of topics, including the use of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, the effects of probiotics on gut microbiota and metabolic health, and the potential use of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of other inflammatory diseases.
