“…Experimental studies in mice show mostly beneficial effects in the models of T2D such as L. plantarum [44À47], L. reuteri [48], L. casei [49], L. curvatus [50], L. gasseri [51], L. paracasei [52], L. rhamnosus [53], L. sakei [54]. More importantly, twenty-five human clinical trials [55À79] employed twelve different species of Lactobacillus with ten of those studies [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]64,79] adding other probiotics. Out of eleven studies [58À64, 72,76,77,79] that showed some protective effect, the majority combined other genera, most frequently Bifidobacterium [58À62, 64,79], suggesting that Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may work in a synergistic manner.…”
