The strain has weight lowering effects in-vivo, achieved through inducing satiety via decreased internalisation of the Ghrelin receptor, and therefore, decreased constitutive activity. Moreover, the strain also showed a trend towards decreased ghrelin receptor hypothalamic expression in HFD-fed mice when compared with vehicle control group. The strain also improves glucose tolerance and decreased insulin plasma levels in mice, indicating the strain in the prevention and/or treatment of Type II diabetes, especially in obese individuals.
