The role of probiotic organisms as alternative or complementary therapy in combating large number of gastrointestinal disorders and their ability to enhance immune response attracts global attention. In addition, theirtherapeutic use towards cholesterol-lowering activities has further increased their applications as effective probioticsfor humans as supplements in milk and yoghurt, since there are no other supplements for hypercholesterolemia,which is the crucial risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Changes in dietary habits, stressful life and lack ofphysical activities are the precursors for increasing incidences of hypercholesterolemia and subsequentlycardiovascular diseases. The present review focuses on some of the animal studies and clinical trials conducted withprobiotic lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. This review may throw some light to prove the ability of these probiotics as anovel alternative or adjuvants to chemical drugs to help fight hypercholesterolemia. |
