VSL#3 probiotic attenuates fibrosis without changes in steatohepatitis in a diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis model in mice.

[Guest guest]

Probiotics exhibit immunoregulatory

and anti-inflammatory activity. We tested the

hypothesis that probiotic VSL#3 may ameliorate the methionine-choline-deficient

(MCD) diet-induced mouse model of NASH……. our data indicate that

VSL#3 modulates liver fibrosis but does not protect from inflammation and steatosis in NASH…….
