Abstract: The present invention provides a Bifidobacterium lactis GKK2, a composition comprising thereof and its use for improving asthma, especially for lowering airway resistance, reducing levels of non-specific and specific IgE in serum, alleviating bronchoconstriction and increasing levels of GSH reductase in liver tissue interstitial fluid to improve allergic asthma.

Abstract: The present invention discloses uses of treating, preventing or improving bone diseases by Lactobacillus or a composition including the Lactobacillus. The Lactobacillus and compositions can increase the blood calcium concentration, the trabecular bone volume density (BV/TV ratio), the trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), the trabecular number (Tb.N) and the bone mineral density (BMD) of a subject, and reduce trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) of the subject. Further, the present invention discloses a method for treating a subject diagnosed with a bone disease, comprises steps of identifying the subject having the bone disease, and administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition including at least one of Lactobacillus plantarum GKM3 and Lactobacillus paracasei GKS6, wherein the Lactobacillus plantarum GKM3 is deposited in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) with a deposition number of CGMCC 14565 on Aug.
