摘要:
The invention relates to Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 for promoting the establishment of healthy and normal cognitive function in young mammals. In particular, the invention relates to the use of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 for promoting development of the brain structures responsible for cognitive functions (e.g. cortex and hippocampus) and its associated neural pathways and/or to reverse retardation and/or to prevent retardation of the establishment of cognitive functions. Humans or animals and, in particular, a foetus, pre- term or term born infant, toddler or child or a young adult may benefit from the invention.
摘要:
The invention relates to Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, and compositions comprising Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, for promoting the healthy development and/or repair of the enteric nervous system in mammals. Humans or animals and, in particular, a foetus, pre- term or term-born infant, toddler or child may benefit from the invention. The invention may be especially beneficial to those infants having experienced IUGR, or having a low, or very low birth weight, and/or suffered from enteric nervous system growth retardation either in utero or, during or after birth. The administration of to Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 promotes normal and healthy neuronal and glial development. It also ensures healthy neuronal differentiation in the peripheral nervous system.
