Mild stimulatory effect of a probiotic mix on bone mass when treatment is initiated 1.5 weeks after ovariectomy in mice

Abstract

The probiotic L. mix exerted a mild stimulatory effect on trabecular and cortical bone width when treatment is initiated 1.5 wk after ovariectomy in mice. This effect was associated with effects on bone-protecting regulatory T-cells. The results suggest that L. mix may exert beneficial effects on bone mass when treatment is started after ovariectomy.
