Background:
Lactobacillus gasseri
SBT2055 (LG2055) has been shown to prevent abdominal adiposity, and
suppression of lipid absorption is considered a possible mechanism, detail of which, however, are poorly
understood. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of LG2055 on fat hydrolysis by determining pancreatic
lipase activity and fat emulsion properties
in vitro
. We also examined whether LG2055 influences fecal fat excretion
in humans.
