Lactobacillus 균주들의 에탄올과 acetaldehyde의 대사 가능성을 시험관내 및 생체내에서 시험하였다. ADH와 ALDH 활성은 L. brevis 균주들이 다른 Lactobacillus 균주들과 비교하여 높게 나타났으며, 특히 L. brevis HY7401은 가장 높은 ADH와 ALDH 활성을 나타냈다. L. brevis HY7401$(10^9\;cfu/mL)$을 2주간 하루에 1 mL씩 쥐에게 급여한 후 시험 14일째에 에탄올(4g/kg BW)을 경구투여하고 혈중 에탄올 양을 측정한 결과, L. brevis HY7401 급여에 의해 혈중 에탄올 수준이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올 투여 6시간후의 혈중 에탄올 양이 각각 $1,195{\pm}92.9$(대조군) 그리고 $454{\pm}150mg/L$(HY7401군)으로 나타났다. 또한 L. brevis HY7401 급여한 군에서 소장내 에탄올 농도가 대조구와 비교하여 약 1/2수준이었으며, 초산 농도는 2배정도 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이 연구결과들은 사람으로부터 분리된 L. brevis HY7401이 높은 ADH와 ALDH 활성을 갖고 있어 에탄올과 acetaldehyde를 대사한다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 또한 L. brevis HY7401을 쥐에게 급여함으로써 혈중 에탄올 수준을 낮출 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

We had found that orally administered Lactobacillus species were effective immune modulators in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice. To validate these findings, we investigated the effects of orally administered Lactobacillus brevis HY7401 in OVA-T cell receptor transgenic mice. This strain showed a tendency to induce Th1 cytokines and inhibit Th2 cytokines. All assayed isotypes of OVA-specific antibody were effectively reduced. Systemic anaphylaxis was also relatively reduced with the probiotic administration. These results reveal that L. brevis HY7401 might be useful to promote anti-allergic processes through oral administration.

The hepatoprotective activity of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus brevis HY7401, Lactobacillus acidophilus CSG and Bifidobacterium longum HY8001), which inhibited $\beta$-glucuronidase productivity of intestinal microflora, on t-BHP- or CCl$_4$-induced hepatotoxicity of mice were evaluated. These oral administration of lactic acid bacteria lowered $\beta$-glucuronidase production of intestinal microflora as well as Escherichia coli HGU-3. When lactic acid bacteria at a dose of 0.5 or 2 g (wet weight)/kg was orally administered on CCl$_4$-induced liver injury in mice, these bacteria significantly inhibited the increase of plasma alanine transferase and aspartate transferase activities by $17-57\%$ and $57-66\%$ of the $CCI_4$ control group, respectively. These lactic acid bacteria also showed the potent hepatoprotective effect against t-BHP-induced liver injury in mice. The inhibitory effects of these lactic acid bacteria were more potent than that of dimethyl diphenyl bicarboxylate (DDB), which have been used as a commercial hepatoprotective agent. Among these lactic acid bacteria, L. acidophilus CSG exhibited the most potent hepatoprotective effect. Based on these findings, we insist that an inhibitor of $\beta$-glucuronidase production in intestine, such as lactic acid bacteria, may be hepatoprotective.

We investigated the effects of orally administered probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus species) as allergic immune modulators in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice. BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with OVA twice at a 2-week interval for allergy sensitization. The mice were then orally administered Lactobacillus casei YIT9029 (L1), L. casei HY7201 (L2), L. brevis HY7401 (L3), or L. plantarum HY20301 (L4) every 2 days for 3 weeks. Total IgE levels significantly decreased in sera of L3-administered mice but increased in the other groups. OVA-specific IgE levels decreased slightly in sera of mice administered L1, L3, and L4 but increased significantly in L2-administered mice. In passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) using sera from administered mice, only the L3-administered group showed reaction inhibition. High expression of TLR-2 with interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$ stimulation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells occurred in L3- or L4-administered mice. Th1 cytokines, including IFN-${\gamma}$ and interleukin (IL)-12, increased in splenocytes of L3-administered mice; however, IL-4 decreased in L1- and L4-administered groups; IL-5 decreased in all experimental groups. IL-6 decreased in the L3-administered group; and IL-10 decreased in L1-, L2-, and L3-administered groups. L3 induced antiallergic effects by increasing Th1 cytokines, decreasing Th2 cytokines, and inhibiting the PCA reaction, whereas L2 administration increased allergic effects.
