Karnal, January 4

Scientists of the animal biochemistry division of the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) have identified two indigenous strains of probiotic lactobacillus and characterised them. Based on the study on human intestinal cells and experimental mice, scientists claim these probiotics are helpful in healthy aging. They claimed both probiotics had the potential to increase immunity during aging and combating allergy in newborns by keeping the gut healthy. A team of scientists led by Dr Rajeev Kapila, principal scientist, spent around six-years on two projects to establish the role of these two Indian-origin probiotic strains. — TNS
