  • Publication number: 20250090605
    Abstract: A novel strain, Lactobacillus paracasei ATG-E1 (Accession No. KCTC 14245BP), and a composition containing the same for preventing or treating respiratory diseases which are caused by fine particulate matter. The Lactobacillus paracasei ATG-E1 strain reduces the number of immune cells bronchoalveolar and lung tissues and inhibits the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-17A (IL-17A), tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP2), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-? (MIP-1?) or interleukin-6 (IL-6).

  • Patent number: 11318178
    Abstract: A Lactobacillus reuteri ATG-F4 strain (Accession number KCTC13717BP) is proposed. The strain has the function of enhancing dopamine secretion, and thus can be used as a pharmaceutical composition or a functional health food for the prevention or amelioration of mental illnesses, such as memory disorder, depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, and the like, as well as Parkinson's disease, or can be used as a very effective composition for the improvement of memory or cognitive function. Moreover, the strain exhibits anti-inflammatory efficacy of upregulating the expression of IL-10 (interleukin-10) and inhibiting the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and is not resistant to antibiotics, and can thus be readily applied to a variety of foods having health improvement effects.
