Mucosal adhesion and anti-inflammatory effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in the human colonic mucosa: A proof-of-concept study

Figure 5 Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG adhesion in the normal colon in vivo after 7 d of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG administration. A: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) detection in the colon of normal subjects who did (n = 12) and did not (n = 10) consume the probiotic formulation. Relative value bars and visualization on an agarose gel are shown. Mean ± standard error is represented; B: Relative segmental adhesion of LGG in the proximal and distal colon biopsies (n = 12 per group), with the bars representing the mean values. ND: Not detectable; LGG: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG.
